Flavour's "Building A New Era" hat design contest was created and sponsored with our good pals at New Era to bridge the gap between Peterborough high schools, create a solid sense of community among students and prove that no matter where you hang your hat - ART MATTERS!
Voting runs until Friday May 11th, followed by an awards presentation Saturday May 12th, where New Era will announce the winning school!
The design with the most votes will be made by New Era and sold at Flavour, with $10 from every hat sold going directly to the winning schools art program.
You can vote right here (leave a comment with the school's name and the word "VOTE!"), on the Flavour Facebook fan page here or in the New Era Pop-up Shop at Flavour Fashion!

P.C.V.S.
Owen Macklin from P.C.V.S.’s Integrated Arts program went
for a minimalist design with a huge pop of color.
Inspired by sketches from his notebook, he set out to create
the sort of hat he himself (as a confessed ‘hat lover’) would rock on a daily
basis!
Owen plans on continuing his education in the arts after
high school with a post-secondary education

ADAM SCOTT
Julie Campbell’s inspiration was to create a sense of unity,
drawing ideas from artist Keith Haring’s linked arms silhouettes and even using
the colors of every
While her design appears minimalist, it is clear from her
color story and detailed approach that she is truly “Building A New Era”

CRESTWOOD
John & A.J. literally took inspiration from their roots
to create their cap. Both are Millbrook boys and wanted to show that you can
take the boy out of the forest but not the forest out of the boy!
A.J. is a graffiti artist and they used his original ‘yeti’
stencil to incorporate the woodsy element in their hat, then they brought it
all together with a Flavour “F” on the front tag.
They wanted their hat to stand out from the rest, but appeal
to everyone, and show that “Crestwood has an awesome art department, we’re not
just jocks”.

T.A.S.
Becsy Lapp is a grade 9
student with a passion for urban art – her main inspiration came from the
different styles of graffiti seen around our city.
She used a clean styling and
cityscape sketches paying homage to the Flavour building’s heritage – owned by
David & Liz Bierk until 2009, the second floor was internationally renowned
“virtuoso post-modernist” artist David Bierk’s studio and gallery, the first
floor his workshop.
