Crayola Contest
from Ms. Dubis
Crayola has a contest called "Empowering Student Creativity Through Leadership" that has a submission deadline of March 31, 2017. This will NOT be an in class project, but I encourage students to enter. Each grade level is separated into a category with a theme.
Pre-K and K: "How do I solve problems?"
1st and 2nd grades: "What makes me a leader?"
3rd and 4th grades: "What are leaders' stories?"
5th and 6th grades: "How do decisions impact self and others?"
The criteria for judging: 1- Connect artwork to the theme
2- Create with visual appeal
3- Present age appropriate critical thinking
4- Respond to theme with originality.
Up to 30 students will be selected as finalists across the grade categories. Each finalist will receive $200 of crayola products and a plaque featuring a replic of the original artwork.
The curated collection of finalists' artwork will be donated to the U.S. Departmenet of Education to become part of the permanent collection of children's art, on display in Washington DC and the Department's regional offices.
