Lyman Harbor Hosts Student Art Contest

Area students are invited to show off their artistic talent by participating in the inaugural Lyman Harbor Art Contest and Scholarship.

The scholarship prizes are $2,000 for first place; $1,000 for second place; and $500 for third place. The scholarship award must be split between the school and the participant.

All participating students should create one piece of art depicting a Lake Erie Scene of their choice. Along with their artwork, they must write a short description of the location and its significance to the artist. All artwork should worked on between Sept. 1 and Jan. 20 so that all participants have an equal opportunity. In an effort to ensure the submitted art is original and that it was created during the allotted time frame, the blank artwork must be stamped with a teacher’s signature and date.

The contest will be held on Jan. 20. It is required that all students bring their artwork to Lyman Harbor for display by Jan. 19. The same day as the art show, Lyman Harbor will be the site of the American Red Cross Bloodmobile so that the public can view the artwork during the blood drive. Doors open at 4 p.m., Jan. 20, and three distinguished judges will review and rate the artwork. Refreshments will be provided.

For the three winners of the contest, Lyman Harbor would like to award them by buying their artwork in the form of a scholarship. The artwork will then be permanently displayed at Lyman Harbor. The winner will be announced at 7 on the evening of the art show. We encourage all students with work on display to attend the contest. Pictures of the winners will be taken and submitted to the local newspapers.
