The United Way of Summit County (UWSC) invites children in grades K-12 living or attending school in Summit County to participate in the Fifth Annual Youth Initiative Creative Arts Contest by illustrating the theme: ‘LIVE UNITED.’
UWSC Senior Resource Development Director Margaret Sell said, “The Creative Arts Contest was established to encourage our younger population to become more aware and active in United Way and our local community. We hope that the artwork submitted will capture the creativity, energy, and fresh ideas of the how young minds see United Way in their community and lives today. This will in turn help us better understand ways to market to this population. It’s definitely a win-win situation.”
Artwork for this contest can utilize any media, but it must be 2-dimensional and 8 ½” x 11” in size. Students interested entering the contest can find more information at www.uwsummit.org. Art Contest information is also available in Acme Fresh Market’s January 10th sales flyer. All entries will be displayed at the Riverfront YMCA in Cuyahoga Falls during the month of April.
The winning artists will receive a gift certificate for art supplies. In addition, winning artwork may be published on United Way of Summit County’s promotional materials and website. Winners will be displayed at the Main Branch of the Akron Public Library and other locations around Summit County throughout May and June.
Deadline for submission is Friday, March 13th at 4:30 pm. Contestants can deliver or mail submissions to United Way Creative Arts Contest – 90 N. Prospect Street – Akron, OH 44304.
United Way of Summit County encourages everyone to LIVE UNITED. Each of us has the power to improve lives and advance the common good when we give, advocate and volunteer.
