IMAGINATION FLY!”

students create theme-based artwork in dance

choreography, film production, literature,

Visual Arts 3D expansion! The visual arts

category will now allow students to enter

three-dimensional artwork in addition to the

traditional 2D entries.

The deadline for entries is November 13th!

You can drop off entries in the library. For more
