Students art contest under way

OKLAHOMA CITY — Fourth through 12th graders across the state have the opportunity to participate in the Oklahoma Heritage Association’s annual Heritage Week Competitions.

Fourth through sixth graders compete in the poster competition in which they must depict an Oklahoman through art. Seventh through ninth graders compete in the essay competition in which they relate the importance of an individual from their county to their county’s history. Tenth through 12th graders compete in the poster/essay competition in which they use both art and the written word to depict a native Oklahoman’s impact on the state.

Cash awards, ranging from $50 to $350, are presented to the first, second and third place statewide winners in each competition. One winning student from each region will also earn additional cash awards.

Entries for each of the competitions are due by 5 p.m. Oct. 31 to the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
