Artwork must be mounted on poster board (of any color) that is no smaller than 8 x 10 and no larger than 12”x 18”, including the poster framing.
Do not mount artwork to foam board as the thickness makes display difficult.

Artwork will be submitted digitally with a brief artist statement that describes their artwork, why they created it, what it means to them, and what inspired them. Artist statements will be submitted with the digital form.
A committee will judge the entries and award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from each grade level (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) of competition across all schools, not from each. There will be an overall winner from grades K-12.
