This year we have Two Art Contests underway for our student body. First, The Graphic Arts Ornament Contest. Second, The Annual Christmas Card Contest.
Graphic Arts Ornament Contest:
Contest Begins: September 1st, 2023
Contest Ends: September 22nd, 2023
Theme: The Birth of Jesus
Rules:
•The design must coordinate with the theme.
•Have a scripture (or reference to a scripture) as part of the artwork.
•The arts’ connection to the theme must be understandable.
•The art must be created through digital graphic design and have clear resolution
•It must be circular in shape
Things to keep in mind:
The ornament is about 2 inches round, so your design will be shrunk. This will cause you to lose some details, so design with this in mind.
We now check your art through Google Image, and other design programs such as Canva, so make sure you do not just cut and paste a premade graphic. Although elements can be pulled from things like Canva, you must manipulate the art so your design is original.
Christmas Card Contest:
Contest Begins: October 2nd, 2023
Contest Ends: October 20th, 2023
Theme: Jesus, Our Savior is Born
Rules:
•Pick up a form in the office
•The design must coordinate with the theme.
•Have a scripture (or reference to a scripture) as part of the artwork.
•The arts’ connection to the theme must be understandable.
•The art should be created through a medium of your choice, on paper. Markers, paint, crayons, chalk, etc… just make sure it’s dark enough to be seen as we make a copy to send to the printer. Light gradients, fading, or watercolor may not show up on the copy.
•It must be a rectangle and the layout can be in either portrait or landscape.
• The final Card will be printed in 5″x7″, so please create your design in either 7″ x 14″ or 5″ x 7″.
