The Millsboro Water Department is calling on all area students to participate in its third annual art contest. The theme of this year's competition is Water For All. The contest is open to Millsboro students in grades 4 through 12. The rules call for original artwork to be submitted on 75-centimeter by 110-centimeter poster board or paper, with a 3-centimeter border on all sides. Entrants may use any traditional medium they wish, such as pastel crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, cut paper, or fabric. However, computer-generated artwork and photography will not be accepted. Students may receive guidance from a parent, teacher, or guardian but must do all the work by themselves. The grand prize winner of each grade level will receive $300 cash and a $200 gift card from fellow sponsor Millsboro Shopping Center. Furthermore, three additional contestants will be awarded with $100 gift cards, also furnished by the shopping center. Along with other entries, the winning pieces will be featured in next year's student artwork calendar, which will be distributed free to clients of the Millsboro Water Department at the beginning of next year. The deadline for entries is April 30. For more information, visit www.mwd.com/art_contest. |
