Haywood County students invited to enter art contest



All Haywood County school students are invited to participate in the 2012 Cinco de Mayo Heritage Celebration Art Contest. Deadline to enter is Friday, April 27. Winners will be announced at the Cinco de Mayo Heritage Celebration Saturday, May 5, on the Brownsville Court Square. The event and contest is sponsored by the Brownsville Business Association.

"This is the second year for the event and art contest," says Vickie Cooper, event coordinator. According to Cooper, over 60 students participated in the contest last year and organizers are confident that this year they will see a similar response.

"Celebrating Community" is the theme students are asked to use for their artwork. The art can depict what makes our community unique, someone or something that represents the community or simply something the artist loves most about our community.

Cooper says the theme leaves room for interpretation and creativity of the students. Students are also encouraged to name their artwork and judges will base the winning selections on composition, design and overall creativity.

"Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Brownsville and Haywood County's diverse heritage, bringing the kid's into the event and letting them tell our story through their artwork is a great way to share and showcase our different cultures."
