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: Fashion and Culture

Clothing and culture often go together. Maybe you have seen people in your neighborhood, place of worship, school, or on television wearing traditional, religious, ceremonial or ethnic clothing that you thought was beautiful, "cool," or interesting to wear. Draw a picture of someone wearing your favorite traditional, religious, ceremonial, or ethnic clothing. It could be from your own cultural background or someone else's. Please include a title or short explanation of your picture.

The subject of the artwork entry is to be the student's personal expression of "Fashion and Culture" and may be in either descriptive or abstract form. Artwork will be judged on originality of design, clarity of theme message, and artistic merit.

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

  • Group A—1st and 2nd grades, as of September 1, 2012
  • Group B—3rd and 4th grades, as of September 1, 2012

Prizes: There will be two prizes in each group:

  • First place: $150
  • Second place: $100
  • (Prizes of comparable value will be awarded for those who reside outside of the United States.)

Entry Requirements:

  • Only one piece per student.
  • Entry may be a painting, drawing, collage, or other 2-dimensional work only.
  • Entries should be emailed to contest(at)teachersagainstprejudice.org by October 15, 2012, and should be accompanied by this Contest Entry Form.
