2023 Theme: "Communities Serving Communities; People Serving People"
Envision an engaged world. Communities serving communities; people serving people. What does the true impact of community service and volunteer work look like? How are both the communities and those that serve impacted by engaging in civic and humanitarian work around them? What does this service mean to you?
Submissions
Create a work of art in your style of choice, whether that be graphic design, animation, oils, pastels, or whatever other medium your vision gravitates towards. All submissions will be asked to self-identify into either 1) visual art, 2) digital art, or 3) mixed media. With your work, submit a short paragraph detailing what being involved in community service means to you.
Registration Deadline: Wednesday, Dec. 21
Art Submission Deadline: Tuesday, Jan. 31
Judging and Prizes
Entries will be scored by a select panel of faculty and staff judges from across the University community with backgrounds in art and design, higher education, leadership, and community-engaged learning. Scoring will focus primarily on adherance to theme and messages conveyed.
There will be prizes for the top entry in each category and a grand prize for the top entry overall.
Select entries will also be displayed at the 'Community Partners Luncheon' scheduled for Spring 2023 with community non-profits, university administrators, and serviced-focused student organizations in attendance.
