KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ESS is hosting their annual art contest for K-12 public and charter school students in the continental United States for the sixth consecutive year. From now until February 25th at 8:00 pm Eastern Time, students are invited to submit a traditional drawing, painting, or digital piece representing this year's topic, "Imagine going to school underwater - what would your day be like?" Winning students from the four grade groups will receive a $500 gift card, plus $500 for their school.
"Anticipation is building as we approach the 6th annual ESS Art Contest," said ESS CEO Buddy Helton. "In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that students continuously push the boundaries of creativity. We are looking forward to seeing how imaginative students can get with taking their school day underwater."
To enter the contest, parents or teachers, with parental consent, can submit student artwork to ArtContest.ESS.com. Artwork will be categorized into four grade groups (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). A panel of ESS judges will score each submission on a scale of 1-43, based on the following criteria:
- Artistic skills
- Creativity and originality
- Relation to contest theme
- A unique and novel approach to the artwork and title
- Technical skill by grade level
- Adherence to the contest rules and requirements
During the week of March 18th – 24th, the top five finalists from each grade group will be featured on the ESS Facebook and Instagram pages, where the public will vote on their favorites. A percentage of the total score from the number of likes, comments, and shares from ESS' social media (Facebook and Instagram) combined with the highest total score from the ESS judges will determine the winner from each Grade Group. The 2024 ESS Art Contest winners will be announced on ESS' social media pages on March 27th.
