Who can enter? The competition is open to
students in grades 9 – 12 in Georgia, public or private schools, and students
who are home-schooled in grades 9 – 12.
Incentives: Award certificates, recognition (press release
sent to local paper in student’s city/county, winners photographed and posted on
our website), and cash prizes for students. Museum passes, gift cards,
and recognition for teachers. Please note: this is a statewide
competition and looks GREAT on a college application!
Deadline for entries: December 9, 2016
What to Write? Students may enter short
stories, essays, narrative poetry and/or Cowboy poetry. Entries must be the
result of a required writing assignment based on selected works of art from
Booth Museum’s
collection. Each entry must be submitted to a teacher for a grade. Images
and lesson plans are available by grade level on the Museum’s
website,
http://boothmuseum.org/writing-through-art/ . Local schools
may choose to visit the museum to see the selected art (entrance fees to the
museum do apply).
