In Partnership with the Watertown Daily Times, Sci-Tech invites Elementary and High School students to participate in a Solar Eclipse Art Contest, with prizes to be awarded in 4 age groups.
Images to be portrayed may be on any subject related to the Solar Eclipse, but need not include the actual eclipse. For example, an entry could be a picture showing insects responding to the event. The topic is free and open, and up to the student’s imagination.
Artwork may be in any medium – watercolor, acrylic, oil paint, marker, crayon, pencil, computer print, etc. Submissions must be at least 8-1/2 x 11 inches, but no larger than 18 x 24 inches. Please note, however, that Artificial Intelligence engines (AI chatbots) may not be used. Art must be the student’s creation.
A first prize and an honorable mention will be awarded in each group: grade 9-12; 5-8; 3-4, and K-2. Each winner will receive a Staples gift card, and the winners will be displayed at the Flower Memorial Library.
Entries are due by Friday April 19, and should be sent or hand-delivered to:
Eclipse Art Contest
Watertown Daily Times
260 Washington Street
Watertown, NY 13601
Attach, or include with the entry, the students name, school (or if homeschooled), grade group, and contact information (either address, phone, or email).
This work is supported by the Simons Foundation and is part of its “In the Path of Totality” initiative.
