A student from Cambridge has designed the medal that will be handed out to winners at the upcoming 2023 Skills Ontario Competition taking place May 1 and 2 at the Toronto Congress Centre.
Reese Lombardi, a Grade 11 student of Monsignor Doyle Catholic Secondary School, designed the 2023 winning medal, while the winning pin was inspired by Jian Bin Su, a second-year student from Centennial College.
Both designs were selected by Skills Ontario after reviewing hundreds of entries into the Skills Ontario Pin and Medal Design Contest.
The public can see the 2023 winning pin design up close during the event, while the medals will be awarded to the finalists at the Skills Ontario Competition during a closing ceremony on May 3.
Since 1992, the Skills Ontario Pin and Medal Design Contest has taken place each September. Youth in Grades 9-12 or college are encouraged to submit their custom design for a chance to build their resume, win prize money and be recognized as the provincial winner.
Winning designs for both pin and medal are immortalized in metal and reproduced by the thousands for the Skills Ontario Competition.
