Art Contests

It's not too often that my kids have class time to work on ideas for the many art contests out there but this past month we had some 'wiggle room'. One or 2 classes were ahead of the others and had time to spare so we indulged ourselves!

Triarco and Sargent are sponsoring an oil pastel project featuring an 'eye' drawing. The students will continue to work on it when time permits until the deadline. Per their entry form: Entries must be postmarked no later than March 30, 2011.

The annual Doodle 4 Google appealed to a lot of my artists so they've been putting in extra time this month before school and at the end of class when possible. From their entry form: Registration closes at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) on March 2, 2011, and entries must be postmarked by March 16, 2011 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). The winning doodle will be featured on our Google.com homepage on May 20, 2011.

Any recommendations for other contests out there?
