Help the Tipp City Area Arts Council (TCAAC) celebrate Youth Art Month in March. “This month is set aside to celebrate and promote arts and arts education across the country. The month is specifically for the visual arts and is geared toward children of all ages.” (National Today)

The Student Art Contest & Exhibit is a free contest, sponsored by TCAAC and held to encourage creativity and imagination for the younger artists. Artwork should align with this year's challenge, “Give Peace a Chance.” The contest is open to all K–12 students in Tipp City and neighboring communities. All entries must be student's original concept, design, and execution. Artwork will be judged by a committee and winners will be chosen in each category. Artwork that does not meet all criteria listed on the contest entry form (see website below) will not be accepted.

Artwork should be dropped off between February 26–March 1 at Tipp Monroe Community Services, located at 3 E Main Street in Tipp City. Art must be submitted no later than March 1 to be eligible for judging. For more details and submission form, visit www.tippcityartscouncil/student-art-contest.
