Cynthia Nguyen, Âé¶¹AV Graphic Design student and gold-medal hopeful for this year’s competition, shares, “I’m going to make my last year of education at Âé¶¹AV count. My workflow and style are what make me unique. I’m competing in Skills to test myself and see how much more I need to learn. I want to be better, and what better place to be in than a timed competition with limited resources.”

The event is open to the public at the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) District, where exhibitors will have interactive booths and activities to engage with young and aspiring trade students.

Join us in cheering on and wishing our 11 outstanding students all the best as they contend for the top spots in the country! Watch the and follow updates on social media using #SCNC2025. Go Team Âé¶¹AV!
