Calendar art contest recognizes artistic talents of Hoosier youth
Kankakee Valley REMC, a local electric cooperative, in partnership with Indiana’s electric cooperatives and their statewide magazine, Indiana Connection, invites Indiana K-12 students to enter the Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest.
A first-place artist will be selected for each grade, K-12, and will receive $200. The artwork of each grade level winner will illustrate either the cover or one of the 12 months of the calendar. Additional artists will earn honorable mention awards and will receive $75. These works will appear in the calendar.
Artwork will be judged on artistic merit, originality, creativity and its suitability for a wall calendar. Indiana public, private or home-schooled students in kindergarten through 12th grade during the 2020-21 school year are eligible.
“We are proud to be a part of recognizing and showcasing the artistic talents of our youth,” said Amanda Steeb, director of marketing and communications for Kankakee Valley REMC.
The 2022 wall calendar will be available at the offices of participating Indiana electric cooperatives in autumn 2021 and available by mail order.
A complete set of rules, instructions, required entry forms and additional contest information are available visiting indianaconnection.org/for-youth/art-contest or the community programs tab at kvremc.com. The entry deadline is March 19, 2021.
