To participate:
What happens next:
Key Dates for 2023-24:
- Create an original work of art around the theme "Accepting Imperfection". Your creation can be any form that you wish: dance, film, literature, music composition, photography, or visual arts.
- Make sure your artwork follows the general guidelines for submission, like file type, length of video, etc. Check out the guidelines for each art form here.
- Write your artist's statement. This should explain your creation and how it relates to this year's theme (maximum 100 words). This should be in your voice, and it is just as important in judging as the art itself.
- Submit your artwork via our Google Form by October 21, 2024.
- Want to learn more? Check out this helpful presentation from the Wake County PTA that shares the full program details and guidelines.
What happens next:
- A team of local volunteers will judge all submissions from LPES students and select 2 winners from each category and each age level (K-2 and 3-5). Judges will score each submission on creativity, technique, and interpretation of theme (your artist statement).
