Milton Rotary presents Art Against Hunger contest for students grades K-12

Spring 2021 Art Against Hunger Contest

Attention all Milton students, grades K-12!

Milton Rotary is sponsoring an “Art Against Hunger” contest to raise money to support the Milton Food Pantry and Rotary International’s supported initiative “Rise Against Hunger”. Please send us your big, bold visions and designs on paper that best illustrate our theme: “A world without hunger is a world full of caring, and sharing…and food!”

Deadline is Friday, April 16, 2021. 

How to enter:

All young people who live in, or attend a school in Milton, Massachusetts, and are 18 years and younger are encouraged to participate.

Each piece of art will be evaluated and scored by a distinguished panel of judges based on

• artistic skills
• creativity and originality
• representation of the contest theme

Finalists will be selected from the following age groups:

• Grades K thru 2
• Grades 3 thru 5
• Grades 6 thru 8
• Grades 9 thru 12

A Grand Prize Winner will be selected from among the Finalists and will receive a $100 gift certificate from BLICK Art Materials and will have their artwork imprinted on reusable shopping bags promoting our theme. The remaining Finalists will receive $25 gift certificates from BLICK Art Materials.

All artwork will be combined in a video presentation and displayed on Milton Cable Access and in the Wotiz Gallery of the Milton Public Library.

Tax deductible donations can be sent to Milton Rotary Foundation, PO Box 243, Milton, MA 02186, or online at miltonrotary.org. Donations to support this project will be welcomed at any amount, and we will provide a bag for every $10 donation.
