Competition winners receive cash prizes and special recognition.
COMPETITION THEME
Drawing Us Together 2013 welcomes eligible students to create original artworks exploring the power of music to transcend social, cultural, racial, religious, age, and other differences and draw people together to celebrate life’s important moments and events; support one another in times of sorrow and adversity; consider diverse perspectives and traditions; address social concerns and injustice; reflect upon the past; and imagine the future.
ELIGIBILITY
The competition is open to residents of the state of California, Illinois, Ohio, Louisiana, Nevada, or Texas who are at least (13) years old and enrolled in either high school or middle school.
