Student-artists are encouraged to submit art pieces they created during the 2024-2025 school year. Cash awards will be distributed to the top three works of art, juried by the Sequim Arts Commission.

Deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15. Only digital applications will be considered. To enter, complete the form at form.jotform.com/242886920070156, which allows the download of up to two images (300 dpi preferred) per entry.

All entries will be juried by the Sequim Arts Commission on Jan. 27, and artists will be notified of their status by Jan. 29. Artists/arts teachers will contacted to schedule the delivery of artwork.
