The Okaloosa Arts Alliance (OAA) invites all Okaloosa County school students to participate in the 14th Annual OAA Okaloosa County School Poster Contest. The theme is “What art means to me.” It can be anything you can create on paper with markers, pencils, paint, pastels, charcoal, mixed media or crayons.
There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for elementary school students (K-4), middle school students (5-8), and high school students (9-12). Each winner in each division will win a cash prize. Additionally, the 1st place winners’ artwork will be posted in the OAA newsletter and on the OAA website.

Submit only one entry per student. Posters need to include the name of the artist, grade and the name of the school on the front of each entry or attached directly below the poster.
