The Art Contest

This contest was open to all students in elementary grades one through four, including students from private and public schools as well as home-schooled students.

Theme: A World of Peace

Children learn and internalize stereotypes at a very young age; as a teacher and/or parent you can help open minds and hearts. Our theme for this year's inaugural art contest is "A World of Peace". This world can take many forms but the most important thing to remember is that peace can only come when we learn how to accept and learn from our differences while celebrating our commonalities. We ask you to let your students or children have a voice in what such a world would look like, for they and their visions are our futures.

The subject of the artwork entry is to be a personal expression of the word "PEACE" to the student and may be in either descriptive or abstract form.

Participation: Entrants will be divided into two groups by grade:

  • Group A—1st and 2nd grades
  • Group B—3rd and 4th grades

Entry Requirements:

  • Only one piece per student.
  • Entry may be a painting, drawing, collage, or other 2-dimensional work only.
  • Only electronic files will be accepted; photos or scanned images of artwork must be submitted in jpeg format. Files may be emailed or sent on CD.

TAP reserves the right to copy and modify any entry for reproduction. Entries will not be returned and will become the property of TAP.

Artwork will be judged on originality of design and clarity of theme/message.
