MLK Visual Arts Contest Open to MCPS Students

Students at all grade levels are encouraged to participate in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Visual Arts Show. The 2018 theme is “Fulfilling the Dream—A Celebration of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.” Students are asked to interpret what their dreams are for the future.

The contest is open to prints, posters, collages, murals, photographs, and all other two-dimensional visual art forms. Group projects are welcome. Send entries to Linda S. Adams, supervisor, Pre-K-12 Fine Arts, Carver Educational Services Center, Room 258, 850 Hungerford Dr., Rockville, MD 20850. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 15.

Artwork that meets the submission criteria will be on display at the Music Center at Strathmore for the MLK Commemorative Celebration event on Monday, January 15. It will then go on display at the Executive Office Building in Rockville throughout the month of February in celebration of African American History Month.
