2019-2020

The 2019/20 Partnership for Los Angeles Schools Student Art Competition asked students to consider the theme College Bound: Visualizing My Future. Students from elementary, middle and high schools submitted thoughtful expressions of what it feels and looks like to be college bound. Partnership staff have the challenging task of reviewing and voting on the entries’ visual impact and creative interpretation of the theme. A first place and honorable mention will be selected from elementary, middle, and high school. Additional recognitions will be awarded in the creative use of Color, Shapes, Humor, and Storytelling.

2018-2019

The first annual Partnership for Los Angeles Schools Student Art Competition took place in the fall 2018 with the theme of Celebrating Restorative Communities in Our Schools. Students from elementary, middle and high schools submitted complex and evocative work to the competition. A panel of community arts and restorative justice partners, as well as Partnership staff, had the challenging task of reviewing and voting on the entries’ visual impact and creative interpretation of the theme. Additional recognitions were awarded in the creative use of Color, Shapes, Humor, and Storytelling.
