on the Verge Contest

After 15 years of celebrating emerging UVic student voices, the office of Equity and Human Rights (EQHR) and UVic Libraries ended the On the Verge (OTV) writing and spoken word contest in 2024 in favour of focusing our energy and capacity into ongoing initiatives such as 5 Days of Action and other creative opportunities, including UVic Libraries' new Podcast Contest.

Over the years, we have watched winners of the OTV contest go on to be nominated for the CBC and the Griffin Poetry Prize, and we are incredibly proud of all our winners and their accomplishments. Discover all the winners and their stories for OTV in our dedicated collection in UVicSpace.
