First Lady Cathy Justice announced the Create a Quarter for West Virginia contest in honor of Presidents' Day in February. This will be the sixth installment of the First Lady's Student Artist Series, an initiative that promotes the importance of arts within schools throughout West Virginia by hosting art competitions for students of varying age levels during special holidays.
For this contest, all 11th-grade students attending public and private schools in West Virginia are invited to participate. Eligible students are encouraged to study the history of Presidents' Day, celebrated in honor of George Washington's birthday, and then re-create the reverse side of our West Virginia State quarter in an artistic way. Students are encouraged to use painting, drawing, and other art mediums to create the reverse of the West Virginia quarter. Students may also design the reverse sides of their quarters digitally. Quarter designs must include the following:
A copy of the design must be scanned and emailed to [email protected] by February 7, 2020. Along with the scanned copy of the quarter design, students must also include their name, school name, county, phone number, teacher name and teacher email. Gift cards will be awarded for winning designs. If you have any questions, contact Katie Speece, or call the Office of the First Lady at 304-558-3588. Comments are closed.
