SI&A Presents the 6th Annual Art Contest for Grades K-12

How to Enter

Step 1: Share Your Dream!

Education can take you far - where do you want to go? Consider the places you could visit, a job you could have, or exciting discoveries you could find. Make an artwork that shares your dreams and how your education will take you there.

Size & Media: Share your dream in a drawing, painting or 2-D medium (digitally-created artwork will be accepted; however it must be delivered in a hard-copy format, printed). Minimum size: no smaller than 8 inches on any side; Maximum size, no larger than 36 inches on any side.

Step 2: Make a Statement.

Write an artist's statement (at least 3 sentences) to tell us about your artwork. Why did you choose this subject? How will your education be the road to this dream? What medium did you use? What did you learn from the project?

Step 3: Send it in!
