The first annual BarTalk Cover Art Competition gave Grade 11 and 12 students throughout the Lower Mainland the opportunity to share their opinion about the justice system in British Columbia. The competition encourage youths to learn more about justice in British Columbia while using creativity to share their understanding.

Organized as a part of Law Week 2009, the contest required students to produce cover art that followed the Law Week 2009 theme Public Confidence in the Justice System.

The winner of the competition was Heidi Wu of Little Flower Academy with her piece entitled The Scale. Ms. Wu received an iPod Shuffle as well as the publication of her portrayal of the Scales of Justice on the CBABC website. This year’s runner up, with her piece entitled Strength of Canadian Justice, was Evanna Chiew.
