Unleash Your Imagination: Arizona School Board Association (ASBA) Invites Students to Enter Artwork Contest!
Share your students’ creativity with Arizonans statewide with the ASBA’s First Annual Student Artwork Contest. Art created by pre-K through 12th grade students in ASBA member districts is eligible for the contest.
“Artistic expression is a powerful tool for growth and understanding, it empowers students to communicate their unique perspectives and engage with the world around them. Our student art contest aims to cultivate this creativity while celebrating the diverse talents across the Arizona school community,” said Mr. Devin Del Palacio, ASBA Executive Director. “We believe in the transformative power of the arts in education, and this program is a testament to our commitment to fostering an environment where students can express themselves, innovate, and shape their futures in vibrant colors.”
The theme for this year’s contest is “Imagination Unleashed.” We encourage students to explore the boundless world of their thoughts, dreams and ideas. From fantastical creatures to futuristic cityscapes, the possibilities are endless.
Find out more and submit your students’ entries through an online form on ASBA’s website at https://azsba.org/awards/student-awards/ between Aug. 1, 2023 and Oct. 31, 2023.
The finalists’ artwork will be selected to be displayed at the ASBA-ASA Annual Conference, on the walls of the ASBA office in Phoenix and will be showcased in the ASBA Journal Magazine, ASBA Connect e-newsletter and on ASBA social media.
Selected student winners will receive a $100 Visa gift card and a $100 donation to their school’s art department and/or art program.
