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."
