TWEP's Annual Art Contest
T.W.E.P. will again be sponsoring its annual “Wildlife Art Show.” Artwork submitted must feature wildlife or natural scenery that would be seen in any part of the world.
Artwork submitted must be flat two dimensional work, can be in any media (except photography), and has no size limitations. Please ensure artwork is original and not copied from other artists’ work.
There are three divisions: middle school grades (grades 6, 7, and 8) and high school (grades 9 - 12) and adult. Monetary awards will be given to the top three in the high school and adult division. The school students may ONLY submit pieces that feature wildlife. Judging is done by a group of local artists. Entry forms should be securely attached to the back of each piece of artwork.
Entry deadline is before 3:00 on Wednesday, April 3. Call Sheila at 717 328-2126 to make arrangements for dropping off art. Judging will be done by local artists later in the week.
The Center will display all artwork entered for judging. Open hours will be Sunday, April 7, from 2:00 - 4:00.
