Artwork in Action
Calendar Contest
Duration: January – September
Every year, LICA hosts an art contest for students in grades K-12. Students are invited to draw a picture inspired by a theme and submit their artwork for a chance to be featured in LICA’s calendar the following year. In the fall, LICA’s Board of Directors and Education & Outreach Committee Members select 13 winning entries by majority vote to be showcased in the calendar. Each winning artist also receives a cash prize!
