Up to 3 pieces in any medium may be entered. The art must have been created in the past year. Judging will occur throughout the day, and awards will be presented at 5 pm, after which all art must be removed. The art must be easily displayed on the lightweight wooden panels provided — students with extremely large or heavy pieces must bring their own display materials.  Artwork created by more than one student, group, or an organization is not eligible. For more information about this contest, please call Dinah Satterwhite at 842-0504.  The Student Art Contest is a program of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council (BIAHC, 842-7901).

*CATEGORIES — DIVIDED:  In the event that a large number of entries are received for any single category, we reserve the right to divide the category.  For example, Grades 3 & 4 could be divided into 2-D and 3-D.  Or in the case of High School Photography, we might offer alternative categories such as Color, Black & White, Digital, Film, etc.  This will allow us to judge the entries on a “finer” scale, and offer more prizes.  We won’t know if this is necessary until all of the entries are received, and then we will try to make the decision by Noon.
