Youth ages 13-18 are encouraged to express their creativity by exhibiting their work for judging in local and national competitions. The 2023 National Arts Contest will accept original work in ALL four art forms: Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Digital Arts and Applied Arts.🎥🎨

All nationally winning artwork is professionally scanned and reproduced on stretch canvases to become part of a traveling art exhibit at regional and national conferences throughout the year.🏆
