In conjunction with Norfolk Community Day, the Norfolk Lions are sponsoring a youth art show open to all Norfolk residents in Grades 1 through 6. Submitted artwork should represent a “Scene around Norfolk/Your Community.”
All art work will be displayed during Norfolk Community Day on June 3 at the Holmes family complex, 22 Myrtle St., Norfolk. In addition, all art work will become part of a slide show to be broadcast on Norfolk Cable TV.
There is no fee to participate, but entries are limited to one per person. Art work may be on paper or in other mediums, including 3D (i.e., sculpture, diorama, layered materials, etc.). Entries submitted on paper may be no larger than 11” by 17” and 3D entries may be no larger than 17” by 17” by 12”. Each entry must include an entry form taped to the backside of the art. Entry forms will be distributed electronically to all children in the Norfolk public schools. Additional forms are also available in the lobby of the Norfolk Public Library.
Entries will also be judged by a panel appointed by the Norfolk Lions in three age groups: Grades 1 and 2; Grades 3 and 4; and Grades 5 and 6. Winners will be selected based on artistic creativity, neatness, and originality. All entries will receive an award and winners in each age group will be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and honorable mention ribbons. The 1st place winners in each age group and one Grand Prize winner will also receive gift certificates.
The winning entries will be displayed at the Norfolk Library for two weeks after Community Day.
The contest entry deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday, May 19. Entries may be submitted to the art teachers at the Freeman Kennedy or H. Olive Day schools, or mailed or dropped off in person to: Norfolk Lions, c/o Sally Grant, 40 Grove Street, Norfolk, MA 02056. Contact Sally Grant at 508-541-4119 with any questions.
