The deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Wednesday, October 31.
TAAG is conducting the art contest for young people ages 9 to 18 to help educate the community about the negative impact of graffiti.
- Only one piece of art work can be submitted per person.
- Artwork can be realistic or abstract and must be suitable for all audiences and contain no obscenities or profanity.
- Submitted art work will not be returned.
- The submitted art work will be judged on its creativity, originality, visual impact and communication of the effect graffiti has on our community.
A four-member committee of Pima County staff will review all entries and select one finalist from each of five age groups: 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18. A three-member panel of community leaders will select the winner from the five finalists. In the event a finalist cannot be selected from each age group, five finalists will be selected from all entries received.
The winning design will be awarded a prize worth up to $100 and will be used on TAAG posters. A prize worth up to $25 will also be awarded to each of the four runners-up.
