Students take home silver and bronze for Game Art, Graphic Design

A couple of students from Niagara College have won big at the Skills Canada National Competition in Winnipeg.

Game Design student Evan Sawatsky won silver in the 3D Digital Game Art competition. 

Meanwhile, Graphic Design student Erin Dobell won  bronze in the Graphic Design competition. 

Over the course of two days, the pair had to complete advanced assignments within six hours. 

"I’m so very proud of both Evan and Erin," said Charles Kopun, Associate Dean of Media Studies. "To compete and excel at such a high level is really an accomplishment. I know they will always carry this experience with them. Their success reflects many hours of out-of-class work by them as well as support from faculty and coaches."

This is the only nation-wide multi-trade and technology competition for students and apprentices in the country. 

Each year, over 550 competitors across the country take part.
