L.M. Montgomery Statue Design Competition

The Resort Municipality of Stanley Bridge, Hope River, Bayview, Cavendish and North Rustico is inviting qualified Prince Edward Island artists to participate in a competition for the design of a statue of Lucy Maud Montgomery.

They are looking for a design that depicts Montgomery at the period when she lived in Cavendish and wrote her most famous book, Anne of Green Gables. The statue will be located in the Heritage Park on route 13 in Cavendish.

Artists are to submit drawings or a maquette that will be used by a sculptor to then construct the statue.

The winning submission will be awarded $5,000.

The deadline is 12:00 noon, December 3rd, 2018.

Please find the full details of the design competition here.
