BMO Financial Group's 1^st Art! Invitational Student Art Competition celebrates the creativity of art students from post-secondary institutions across Canada. Deans and instructors of undergraduate certificate, diploma, and degree programs in visual art are invited to select from their graduating classes three students, whose ability and imagination place them 1^st among their peers. A distinguished selection committee chooses a national winner and one winner from each eligible province and territory.

The national winner receives $5,000 and the regional winners each receive $2,500 for his or her artwork. The national winner's work will become part of BMO's corporate art collection, which includes historical and contemporary Canadian masters such as Kenojuak Ashevak, Emily Carr, Paterson Ewen, Tom Forestall, Marc-Aurèle Fortin, Lawren Harris, Thaddeus Holownia, David Milne, Margaret Priest, Denyse Thomasos, Ian Wallace and others. All winning entries will be on display at the 1^st Art! 2009 exhibition, held at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in October 2009.
