Students enter a piece of art that goes through a judging process at the middle school level with the potential to advance to the Council, state and National levels. There are six categories including, visual arts (2D only), literature, music composition, film production, dance choreography, and photography.    

 

The theme for the 2025-2026 year is I Belong.
