MOOSE COLOURING + DESIGN CONTEST! Many of you are used to seeing the DML’s beloved Moose mascot at our Canada Day celebrations, but since we couldn’t be together in person this year – and with our moose in need of repair and some fresh paint – we invite you to bring the moose to life!

The DML Moose arrived in California in 2001 from Toronto, after a city-wide moose sculpture exhibit came to a close and someone connected Groupe Telecom (who owned the exhibit’s “data moose”) with the DML. In this video, meet the Moose and Michael Worry – longtime board member and friend of the DML and founder of Nuvation – who has graciously housed and transported our Moose over the past two decades.

New deadline: Sunday, June 12th

You can win awesome prizes* over three categories (see details in each category description).

Our judging team includes two esteemed creative Canadians:

Scott Boms is a cross-disciplinary design generalist, author, educator and speaker. He also designed our DML collector pins in honour of Canada’s 150th and for the DML’s 20th birthday last year, that many of you are lucky to own!

Charlie Pachter is one of Canada’s leading contemporary artists – a painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, historian, and lecturer. As a painter, he is known for his artwork of the queen, moose and maple leaf icons.
