Student Art Contest 2026
Our 11th Annual Student Art Contest officially opens on Wednesday, April 1. The theme is Belonging. Students are invited to share their vision of belonging, whether big or small, simple or complex, realistic or abstract.
There are up to ten prizes, with one additional finalist winning the “Best in Class” award named in memory of Loeymae Lange. Loeymae was an art teacher in Burlington who believed art was important to student mental health and self-esteem.
