K12 hosts annual contests so students from all over can showcase their skills — whatever they may be! The Art Contest is hosted every year during the month of October, and this year’s contest resulted in a number of impressive submissions all illustrating the theme of “Celebrate Culture.”
We invite you to view our online collection of submitted artwork to see the fantastic art that we received this year.
If you submitted a piece of artwork for your student, you should have received a participant certificate. If you missed it, you can download your certificate of participation, print it, personalize it by filling in your artist’s name, and pin it somewhere in your home to encourage their artistic talent.
