LDA of Missouri Art Competition Announcement
Deadline Extended to March 27, 2009
It is with pleasure that the Learning Disabilities Association of Missouri announces open competition for original art projects completed by persons with learning disabilities. Any person with a learning disability may enter; those of school age must have a current IEP.
Entries are accepted in the following events:
- Books
- Poetry
- Visual Art
- Photography
- 3-D Art project
Each event will be judged by the following age/grade categories:
- Grades K-2
- Grades 3-5
- Grades 6-8
- Grades 9-12
- Adult
Only one entry per person, per age/grade category per event will be accepted. All art work must be original (no copies or cartoon characters.)
TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS - Please read and follow precisely.
1) Due to the tremendous volume of entries in the past and small size of our office, teachers should not send entire class projects, but choose the best work among the students. Class projects will be returned without consideration.
2) Each submitting teacher must send:
A) One Teacher Inventory Form per teacher, completed-in-full, with the student's original Individual Application Form attached, completed-in-full. Each form must be signed by the parent or guardian unless the student is 18 or older.
B) Individual student art projects with a copy of the Individual Application Form attached to the back or underside of each piece.
C) Postage for use in returning original artwork. Cash, checks, and UPS pick-up tickets only, please - The USPS will not allow use of pre-printed POSTAL or MAILING MACHINE TAPES FOR USE IN RETURNING ARTWORK. Materials submitted will be returned only to applicants who include return postage. Due to the high cost of postage, all others will be destroyed.
3) If a teacher is shipping two or more packages, each package must include a completed Teacher's Inventory Form.
4) Do not combine work from multiple teachers or classes in one package. If more than one teacher per school is submitting work, they must be inventoried and shipped separately.
5)
Any packages received without the properly completed Teacher's Inventory Form with student Individual Application Form attached, any artwork received without a copy of the student's Individual Application Form attached, and any artwork received with a postmark dated later than the deadline of March 27, 2009 will be returned without being judged.
Entries may be hand-delivered or mailed to:
LDA of MO
1942 E. Meadowmere Ste. 104
Springfield, MO 65804
Hand-delivered entries will be accepted through March 27, 2009. Mailed entries must be postmarked no later than March 27, 2009.
All First Place winning entries will be held for display at the LDA of Missouri 41st Annual State Conference. The first place winners in each of the five age/grade categories of each event will be invited to attend a special Awards Luncheon held during the 2009 LDA of MO 41st Annual State Conference where they will be presented with a trophy in honor of their work. A ribbon and a Certificate of Recognition will be mailed to each 2nd Place, 3rd Place, and Honorable Mention winner. All other entries will receive a certificate of recognition for the participation in the Art Competition.
