2010 Young Artists Competition

PENC is currently accepting electronic entries for its 4th 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 by a PENC panel of judges during the summer. The six winning entrants will receive an award of $50.00 and a certificate of achievement from PENC, and their art teachers will be presented with a certificate at the fall 2010 Executive Board Meeting. The pieces will be duplicated for display in the PENC office in Raleigh, on the PENC website and may be used in future publications.

For submission guidelines, visit the Young Artists Competition page, or contact us at artawards@pencweb.org or 800.542.8844.
