DigiBC, the Interactive and Digital Media Industry Association of British Columbia, is pleased to announce DigiMusic 2019, a province-wide music composition activity for high school students.

DigiMusic asks students to compose an original score for a short video game or animated movie clip provided by some of BC’s leading studios. Curriculum support materials to help guide students and teachers through the process are available. The DigiMusic contest runs from April 2-30 DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 14! Winning compositions will receive prizes for schools and composers, and the winning groups of students will be invited for a tour of a video game studio in early June.

Financing Deconstructed Event Recap

DigiBC hosted a breakout session panel event on the topic of financing last week. It was a fun and engaging night where members from the creative tech sector came together to hear from important players in the tech and media finance world. Attendees were split into small groups and rotated through the five panelist stations where they were able to sit and interact with each speaker. The event took place at the KPMG Ignition Centre and it was great to see folks engaged and connecting throughout the night. Huge thanks to our generous sponsors (KPMG & Fasken) and our wonderful panelists (Raul Duque from EDC, Caterina Papadakos from Espresso Capital, Stéphane Cosentino from the CMF, Ed Zacharuk from KPMG & Roberto Monteleone from RBC) for making this event possible. We can't thank them enough! DigiBC has more events planned for the year, so no need to fret if you weren’t able to make it to this one! However, make sure to join our mailing list so you can stay up-to-date on what we’re doing. >> http://bit.ly/2IOW6bo
