2025 ArtiGras
Youth Art Competition
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival on February 15 & 16, 2025 as we invite Palm Beach County schools to participate and submit their students’ artwork to the ArtiGras Youth Art Competition! We’ve made some changes to the rules, so please be sure to thoroughly read all the way through the Rules & Regulations.
The theme of this year’s ArtiGras Youth Art Competition is Nature’s Palette. This theme focuses on the beauty and diversity of the natural world, offering young artists the opportunity to explore and depict various elements of nature. Here’s a few examples of what this theme could encompass:
- Landscapes & Scenery
- Seasons
- Ecosystems
- Habitats
- Environmental Awareness
- Flora & Fauna
In your students’ own way, have them create artwork of what nature means to them. We encourage students to experiment with new methods & materials. We ask for ALL of the artwork to incorporate the theme in some way!
The ArtiGras Youth Art Competition is a juried art competition, for grade levels K-12 that features award money to the winning students and schools. Each school in Palm Beach County may submit ONE PIECE of artwork FROM EACH GRADE LEVEL into the competition. All artwork is due by Friday, December 13, 2024.
Artwork Formats
All artwork must fit within the following formats:
- Any 2-D medium (watercolor, oil, ink, clay pencil, photography, etc.) may be used
- Artwork sizes are minimum 8 ½” x 11” and maximum 12”x 18” not including the matting (if any)
- The completed release form must be attached/pasted to the back of each entry
- Do not laminate or frame artwork
- All artworks must be matted AND wrapped for outdoor protection to ensure the students artwork is preserved throughout the festival and set up.
Awards
Five (5) awards will be given in each grade level: 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, and two (2) Honorable Mentions. All honorable mentions and award winners will receive an ArtiGras Awards Ribbon. The “Best of Show” winner will also receive a $100 check in their name. At this time, we are only able to award checks to students who win “Best of Show” or first 1st place. In addition, each of these winners will be on display at the Youth Art Competition area both days on February 15 & 16, 2025.
