DART Hosting Annual
Student Art Contest
T
hey say, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and
North Texas students have an opportunity to illustrate
that in Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s 2018 Student Art
Contest.
This annual competition is open to budding artists in kin-
dergarten through 12th grade. Their original works of art
should reflect this year’s theme: “Oh, The Places DART
Goes.” Participating students will be eligible to win great
prizes, including a cash award. Entries are due by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018
and should be mailed or personally delivered to:
A Best of Show winner will be selected from all K-12 en-
tries. Other prizes will be awarded to first-place winners
and runner-up’s in different grade-level categories. In ad-
dition, winners will have their artwork featured on DART’s
website, and the artwork of first-place winners in the middle
and high school categories will be featured at DART rail
stations and inside DART trains. Winners will be announced by March 21, 2018, and all
artwork becomes the property of DART and may be used
with appropriate credit to the artist. Students who submit
their artwork early will receive a special prize!
