Lilly Center Art Contest open until April 1, 2021

You might be familiar with our annual art contest. This year, we’re opening the contest to all students in Kosciusko County, ages 9-18. Do you have a creative child or grandchild? Encourage them to submit their best work!

Art is a great cold-weather, indoors activity. Plus, they could win a cash prize and a spot in our 2022 calendar.

The rules are simple:

Create a piece of art (using any medium) that depicts a scene related to a lake or stream.
Submit artwork by April 1, 2021, to Caitlin Yoder at the Lilly Center.
Wait to see if the piece won!

You can download the entry form and contest guidelines today.

If you’d like a copy of the 2021 calendar, reply to this email and we’ll work to get one to you. It has 12+ beautiful drawings and paintings, showcases both our lakes and the talent of students throughout the county.
