Wheaton Arts Parade (WAP) is now accepting submissions from Montgomery County high school and college students for its annual poster contest. The winning design will be used on promotional material for its 5th<\/sup> Annual Wheaton Arts Parade & Festival in September 2021.<\/p>\n

The contest is part of the art gallery’s ongoing initiative to involve teens in the local art scene. \u201cOur mission is to bring the community together with art, and at the heart of any community are the kids, schools and parents,\u201d says executive director Dan Thompson.<\/p>\n

Students are encouraged to reach out to mentors\u2014teachers, parents or artists\u2014for advice and feedback on their design, which should celebrate art and Wheaton’s diversity.<\/p>\n

The winner of the poster contest will receive a cash prize of $300 as well as $100 for art supplies for their school. The student will also team up with WAP\u2019s graphic design artists to turn their creation into an image that will be used for the parade\u2019s poster, T-shirt and program.<\/p>\n

Although this year’s festivities were cancelled due to COVID-19, Thompson is confident there will be a celebration next September.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of a parade [in 2020], we had an outdoor public art installation, so no matter what happens in 2021, we\u2019ll still be bringing art to the streets,\u201d says Thompson.<\/p>\n
