Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief is channeling her passion for the local arts community by issuing the first student art contest to recognize talents of Broward County's youth.
Broward residents in grades 9-12 who attend public, private or home school are eligible to submit work for the Mayor's Art Challenge. Monday, August 28th is the deadline for students to submit their application which can be found on the Cultural Division's calls-for-artists page. Students will need to submit their application with digital images of the artwork (up to two entries), a parental release form and indicate their County Commission District via the Submittable website. Mayor Sharief and all Broward County Commissioners will select one first place winner and one runner up from each of the nine districts in the County. Winners will be notified in early September. The winning artworks will be auctioned off at the Mayor's Gala on October 21st and proceeds raised will directly benefit the United Way. Winning artists will be recognized at a County Commission Meeting hosted by the Mayor.For additional details about the Mayor's Art Challenge, please visit our website.
