Applied Arts founder Georges Haroutiun honoured by scholarships

To mark its 30th anniversary of publication and in honour of its founder, Applied Arts magazine has launched the Georges Haroutiun Scholarship. Three $3,000 scholarships will be awarded in April 2016 in the areas of Advertising, Design and Image. Students must complete an assignment and submit it digitally. 

"Georges has always been a champion of young talent, stressing the important role youth play in energizing the creative community," said an announcement. "Thus Applied Arts has consistently recognized, supported and celebrated the work of students, particularly through the Applied Arts Student Awards program. 

"In recognition of Georges Haroutiun’s contributions to the design industry, his legacy and his mentorship of students, — whether as art director of Applied Arts, in his days teaching at OCAD University, or now, in his “retirement” consulting on the magazine’s initiatives — we are thrilled to present these new scholarships in his honour."

ACE Awards renamed CMC Awards; scholarship and lifetime awards to change

The Circulation Marketing Association of Canada (CMC) has decided to make some changes to its awards and scholarship programs. The former ACE Awards will now be called the CMC Awards. The Caren King Scholarship will now be called the CMC Scholarship Award and will have its amount increased to $5,000 from $3,000. The Terri De Rose Memorial Award has not been formally renamed, but probably will be. It is given in collaboration with the Chang School at Ryerson University. 

The former Marketer of the Year Awards will be henceforth called the CMC Lifetime Achievement Award and it and other CMC Awards will continue to be presented at the CMC's annual luncheon held in conjunction with the MagNet industry conference in June.
