Electric Cooperatives Host Student Art Contest

Last updated on Tuesday, December 1, 2015

(ORLEANS) - Indiana’s electric cooperatives and their statewide magazine, Electric Consumer, invite Indiana K-12 students to enter the Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest.

A first-place artist will be selected for each grade, K-12 and will receive $200. The artwork of each grade level winner will illustrate the cover and the 12 months of the calendar. Up to nine additional artists will earn honorable mention awards and receive $50. These works will appear in a special section of the calendar.

Artwork will be judged on artistic merit, originality, creativity, and its suitability for a wall calendar. Indiana students attending any public or private school or educated at home who is in kindergarten through high school senior during the 2015-2016 school year is eligible.

"We are proud to be a part of recognizing and showcasing the artistic talents of our youth," said Matthew Deaton, General Manager/CEO of Orange County REMC.

The 2017 wall calendar will be available at the offices of participating Indiana electric cooperatives in early autumn 2016.

A complete set of rules, instructions, required entry forms and additional contest information are available visiting ElectricConsumer.org/?p=5327. The entry deadline is March 18, 2016.

Orange County REMC is an equal opportunity provider and employer. Located in Orleans, IN., this electric utility cooperative serves over 8,000 members in Orange, Martin, Lawrence, Washington and Crawford Counties. For more information about the cooperative visit www.myremc.coop.
