Provincial Finalists

Ranatra Fusca Award

We are proud to announce Langley Fine Arts School Superstition team has been awarded the Ranatra Fusca award for outstanding creativity.

In Odyssey of the Mind creativity is valued over success. The highest honour a team can receive is the Ranatra Fusca Award for creativity and any team receiving it is automatically eligible to compete at the World Finals. This rare honour has only been awarded twice other time in the last seven years. Congratulations Langley Fine Arts!

The Superstition judges nominated the team for the exceptional creativity of the dialogue in their skit which used puns and rhymes extensively without being trite.

Outstanding OMERs

  • South Slope Superstition Div II Team nominated by their coaches for their determination and hard work, arranging meetings in libraries and malls when no space could be found and for their growth as a team over the years they have been together.
  • Mckenzie Kinch nominated by the volunteer coordinator for cheerfully volunteering to help set up the tournament site even though she didn't have a team of her own.
  • Northside Christian Earth Trek Div III Team nominated by the Earth Trek judges for turning in a $50 bill found during their site clean up and suggesting it be donated to charity if the owner couldn't be located.
