TAP Art Contest

(US only)






The TAP art contest, sponsored by Teachers Against Prejudice, is open to elementary students. The deadline for entries this year is OCTOBER 15, 2011. Here's the information I received from TAP:


TAP is pleased to invite students to participate in our Seventh Annual Art Contest, commencing August 1, 2011. This contest is open to all students in elementary grades one through four, including students from private and public schools as well as home-schooled students. Students who instinctively enjoy the creative process are especially encouraged to participate.

Theme: Sharing Cultures

Have you ever eaten food from another country? Have you ever celebrated a holiday that's different from the holidays in your family? Our lives are enriched by contact with other people and cultures.

In a drawing or painting, depict two or more people sharing their customs, rituals or traditions from their different cultures. For example, it could be a traditional meal/food, clothing, a dance, a holiday, a game, a ceremony, etc.

The subject of the artwork entry is to be the student's personal expression of "Sharing Cultures" 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, 2011· Group B—3rd and 4th grades, as of September 1, 2011

Prizes: There will be two prizes in each group:· First place: $150 U.S. Savings Bond· Second place: $100 U.S. Savings Bond· (Comparable prizes will be awarded if the winners 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.· Only digital files will be accepted; photos or scanned images of artwork must be submitted in jpeg format (high resolution). Files may be emailed or sent on CD. We will not accept hard copies of artwork.

Email submissions by October 15, 2011, to contest@teachersagainstprejudice.org.
