As a teaching artist working in the schools I am partnering with The Southern Environmental Center at Birmingham Southern to bring a unique art education opportunity to your students. Participation in this art contest is extended to schools in the Birmingham area.

Your School, and your students could earn cash awards. There is an Individual Category where students can create a T-shirt design and a Group/classroom Category creating sculpture with recycled materials. See  Watercress Darter Festival page (link) for guidelines.

The Freshwater Land Trust has committed to giving cash prizes to winning students and their classrooms in the following way:
1st Prize – $750
2nd Prize – $500
3rd Prize – $250

Awards will be presented at The 1st Annual Watercress Darter Festival in April. I would be glad to come out and give a presentation or work with your lead teachers.

Please let me know in what way I can help your school participate.

Supporting Education Through the Arts,
Mrs. Kramer
