Creativity isn’t just about art, it’s about wellbeing.

Tune in as one of our judges, veterinarian, emergency and critical care specialist, thought leader, author, and founder of Reviving Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Marie Holowaychuk highlights the connection between creativity and wellness in the veterinary profession.

While she was especially drawn to the detail and colours in Kendra’s Fairy bandage, it was clear to her that each finalist (Kendra, Tracy, Lauren & Mikayla) cares deeply about their work and wants to demonstrate that care to both their patients and their families.

A message from one of our judges, veterinarian, thought leader, founder of the Veterinary Conference, and host of the Cone of Shame Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark.

In this video, Dr. Andy Roark shares the challenge behind determining 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place among this year’s incredible finalists.

From the beauty of Kendra's Fairy bandage, to Lauren & Mikayla's clever "upside
down" analogy of Stranger Things, to the personalization of Tracy's Tinkerbell, each bandage showcased creativity and care in their own way.

There is so much talent in the veterinary community, and we all hope you continue to create bandage art, and inspire others to join in on the fun!
