Katie Jones shares:
Hey All! Here is an art contest my convention is holding with Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention! I am trying to get it pushed out to all the art teachers in the region because we are offering a family pack of tickets per grade level division to the kids. This is open to both public, private, and homeschool students plus we are using judges outside of the Memphis Area for this so no one is connected to the art judging process.
