Calling all artistic K-12 students: If you’re ready to unleash your creative side, ESS has the perfect opportunity for you! We’re excited to announce the 2024 ESS Art Contest. To enter, simply fill out the web form at ArtContest.ESS.com and submit an original drawing, painting, or digital piece based on the topic: “Imagine going to school underwater, what would your day be like?”
Winning students from four grade groups will receive a $500 American Express gift card, plus $500 for their school!
Submissions must be received by Sunday, February 25th at 8:00 pm Eastern Time. An ESS panel of judges will score each piece based on the following criteria:
- Artistic skills
- Creativity and originality
- Relation to contest theme
- A unique and novel approach to the artwork and title
- Technical skill by grade level
- Adherence to the contest rules and requirements
During the week of March 18th – 24th, we will post the top five finalists from each grade group on our national Facebook and Instagram pages, where the public will vote for their favorites.
Artwork that receives the highest combined score from the ESS judges and social media votes will be announced as the 2024 ESS Art Contest winners on March 27th. For more information and full contest rules, please visit ArtContest.ESS.com.
