1 to 9, 10 to 14 and 15 to 18 years old. Each group will have first-, second- and third-place winners.
Media:
Drawing or painting on 81⁄2-by-11-inch unlined paper, canvas or board. We encourage the use of color. Please follow these size guidelines. Oversized canvas entries and framed pieces are especially difficult to handle and cannot be returned.
Entry:
Send your original art to: The Tennessee Magazine, Artist’s Palette — November, P.O. Box 100912, Nashville, TN 37224. (Please make sure you include the month on the outside of the envelope!) Only one entry per artist, please.
Deadline:
Art must be postmarked by Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024.
Include:
Your name, age, address, phone number, email address and electric cooperative. Leaving anything out will result in disqualification. Please note: By entering, you give The Tennessee Magazine permission to publish your work in print, online and via social media.
Artwork will not be returned unless you include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) with your submission. Only U.S. Postal Service will be used for returns. For best reproduction results, do not fold artwork.
Each entry needs its own SASE, please. Siblings must enter separately with their own envelopes. Attention, teachers: You may send multiple entries in one envelope along with one SASE with sufficient postage.
Winners will be published in the November 2024 issue of The Tennessee Magazine. First place wins $50, second place wins $30 and third place wins $20.
