Student Art Contest

As teachers, you know the important role art plays to keep students stimulated and engaged in learning. The Student Art Contest showcases the talents of students of all ages and inspires others to share their creative skills.

How It Works

Students choose any medium and create an original work of art (no reproductions, please). They can use whatever materials are available or shop for a wide variety of art supplies. Email an image of the artwork along with the completed release form to artshare@schoolspecialty.com. Submissions can be made by students themselves or by teachers on their behalf. All grade levels are eligible to enter.

What Featured Artists Receive


We'll select one featured artist every month who will receive:

  • $250 merchandise certificate for themselves
  • $250 merchandise certificate for the teacher who inspired them
  • Featured space on our website and across social media
