PENC is currently accepting electronic entries for its 2nd annual Young Artists’ Competition. The goal of this project is to highlight the hard work of North Carolina’s visual art teachers and their students.

 

Six works of art will be selected as the winning entries by a PENC panel of judges during the summer of 2008. The pieces will be displayed permanently in the PENC office in Raleigh, on the PENC website and may be used in future publications. The six winning entrants will receive an award of $50.00 and a certificate of achievement from PENC. The art teachers will also be presented with a certificate at the fall board meeting in 2008. PENC is looking forward to receiving the wonderful work from all around our great state!

 

Submission Guidelines:

• The work needs to be two-dimensional and created by a student in a North Carolina School (including charter, magnet and private schools).
