Study in BC Creator Awards

Study in BC Creator Awards are given annually by the BC Council for International Education (BCCIE) to post-secondary international students in British Columbia. The awards aim to encourage students to share real stories, experiences, and advice, providing audiences with unfiltered voices and honest perspectives on life as an international student in BC.

Are you an international student in BC? Share your authentic stories through short videos for a chance to receive $1,000 towards your tuition! Awards recipients’ content will be featured on Study in BC’s Instagram and website to help other international students make the most of their time in BC.
