Submit Your Art from May 5 - June 21, 2020
In celebration of Golden Gate Park’s 150th anniversary, we’re holding an A to Z art contest! This contest is open to kids and youth ages 18 and under.
To enter, create a one-page piece of artwork that features one letter of the alphabet and what you’re featuring in your art. For example, you’d write “F is for Ferris Wheel” or “W is for Windmills.” Need inspiration? Check out submissions from a collective art project we held leading up to the launch of the new book, Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure.
All submissions must be received by 11:59PM Sunday, June 21, 2020.
The winning artwork for each letter will be selected by Michael Wertz, illustrator of Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure. Michael is an award-winning artist and also Assistant Chair of Illustration at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
Prizes
Prizes include Golden Gate Park 150th anniversary commemorative bison plushies, copies of Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure, and more.
Winners will be announced by June 30 on goldengatepark150.com/kids. Limit of one prize per artist.
