PalmettoPride Hosts Litter Art Contest
PalmettoPride has kicked off its 2017 Litter Trashes Everyone Art Contest. The annual art contest is now open for teachers to sign up their respective elementary classes to participate in this fun and educational competition. The winning artwork will become the design for PalmettoPride’s new T-shirt. The contest is open to all S.C. students from grades K through 5.
Submissions may be based on the theme Litter Trashes Everyone or a theme of the student’s choice. One winner from each participating school will be sent to PalmettoPride for final judging. School winners will be judged by region (Upstate, Midlands, Lowcountry and Pee Dee). Regional winners receive the following: student will receive a $250 check and a framed print of his/her artwork; teacher will receive a $250 check for art supplies; and the school will receive a $500 check and a framed print of the winning artwork.
State winners will receive the following: student will receive a $1,000 check; teacher will receive a $500 check for art supplies; and the school will receive a $1,000 check and a framed print of the winning artwork.
