This is the third year the City of Mission Viejo is hosting the competition in an effort to tap the creativity of local youth. The competition is open to all high school students, including those who are home schooled.
Students can submit up to five photos of their fabulous artwork by Friday, November 14 for a chance to receive City recognition by having it on display for a month at the Mission Viejo Library. All mediums are welcome, and the subject matter must be appropriate for all age groups.
The students’ photos will be evaluated by a volunteer panel of local professional artists. An application and photos can be mailed or dropped off at the Norman P. Murray Center, 24932 Veterans Way.
The City will bestow awards in the categories of Artistic Excellence, Teen Choice Award, Most Creative Use of Materials and more. Art work that is selected will be exhibited at the Mission Viejo Library Gallery from December 4 to January 14.
Award recipients will receive special recognition by the Mayor of Mission Viejo during the City Council’s January 5 meeting.
