Tuscarawas CVB seeks student artwork for America 250 celebration

The Tuscarawas County Convention and Visitors Bureau is inviting students across the county to submit artwork in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

Students are encouraged to create two-dimensional artwork reflecting the American journey in all its forms. All entries will be juried, with 30 selected works displayed at the CVB Welcome Center from May 6 through July 1.

Awards will be presented in three age divisions: kindergarten through fourth grade, fifth through eighth grade and ninth through 12th grade. First-, second- and third-place winners will be named in each division. First-place winners in each age division also will receive special recognition at a multi-county America 250 celebration July 5 from 2-4 p.m. at the Kent State University Tuscarawas Performing Arts Center.

The deadline to drop off artwork is May 1. Submissions may be delivered to the Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts, 461 Robinson Drive SE, New Philadelphia, or the CVB Welcome Center, 124 E. High Ave., New Philadelphia.
