Last night we awarded over $20,000 in cash prizes at the Big Rock Eddies.

Submitted by Big Rock Brewery on June 2, 2009

Over the past 16 years the Eddies event has helped launch acting, directing and graphic design careers all across our great country and beyond. (While supporting organizations like One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre, Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter and EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts.)

This year, for the first time ever, we awarded one top Student winner in each of the categories: video and print. Not only did these winners bank a few extra dollars but they helped raise money for their respective schools.

Take a peek behind the curtain. Here are this year’s winners:
