The Tyee partners with the UBC Margolese National Design for Living Prize

The Tyee is very proud to announce our media partnership with UBC's Margolese National Design for Living Prize. This $50,000 annual prize will be awarded to an individual Canadian citizen who has made an outstanding contribution to the development or improvement of living environments for Canadians of all economic classes. 

We know there are a lot of world-changers that read The Tyee. So we're calling on you to pass this around to the urban designers, engineers, architects, planners, community advocates, environmental remediation experts, and others who do great work to make our living environments (urban and rural) better for all.

Look for updates on The Tyee throughout the late summer and fall regarding this major national prize.

Who is eligible?

Canadian citizens who have made – and are still making – significant contributions to the development or improvement of living environments for Canadians of all economic classes.

What can the prize money be put towards?

The prize is unrestricted, though it is hoped that the funds enable the winning recipient to continue with and build on their work.

What is required to apply?

The basics: A statement from yourself (if self-nominating) or a nominator, biography, CV, two to three letters of support, and proof of citizenship.

Application Deadline: October 1, 2013
