The CAP invited all physics students in Canada to create a design for the Canada-wide celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) – and to compete for the prize of $1000, and see their design on t-shirts, mugs etc distributed across the country in 2025!
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the IYQ Design Competition winner – Jasmine Zhang – whose striking design was selected to be used for pins, stickers, and buttons that have been brought to the February 4th Opening Ceremony in Paris, France. We look forward to seeing a picture of the Canadian team who attended the Ceremony all wearing their IYQ Canada pin. Click here for more information about the design and our winner.
The IYQ Canada team, led by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) is coordinating activities that spread awareness about quantum science and technology during all of 2025.
The team is currently reviewing the other competition submissions to determine whether honourable mentions will be awarded and those additional designs used on Canadian IYQ merchandise like t-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc., or included in the special issue of Physics in Canada or in another form that will be celebrating IYQ2025.
