Children do not need to be amazing artists to do well in this competition. It’s really all about expressing the theme! Thoughtful insights, viewpoints that connect with the judges, and carefully created entries tend to shine. Judging focuses on the interpretation of the theme, creativity, and artistic merit. All entries must include the “Artist Statement” as part of their entry form. This is a great time to let your child play with your cell phone, video camera, or camera, or spend time drawing, painting, writing, etc.

Entries must be the original work of the student. Judges will evaluate the work based on 3 criteria:

• How well does it express the theme?
• How original is it?
• How well is it executed?

Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade:

• Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2)
• Intermediate (Grades 3-5)
• Special Artist (All grades welcome). Students who identify as having a disability and may receive services under IDEA or ADA: Section 504 may enter in the Special Artist Division or grade division most closely aligned to their functional abilities.
