The Rotary Club of Waynesburg recently announced that they are accepting submissions of art work for the Rotary District 7330 Fourth Annual World Peace Art Contest.

Through this contest, the club hopes to raise awareness about Rotary’s efforts towards spreading goodwill and promoting peace throughout the world.

The club level contest is open to any Greene County middle school student (grades 6, 7 and 8). Students may be attending one of the five public school districts in the county, or be attending a private school, or be homeschooled, but they must be in a middle school class, and be between 11 and 14 years old. Participation in the contest is completely free, with no entry fee. Entries must be original and submitted on white 8½ x 11 paper, poster board or canvas. Students may use pencils, crayons, markers, watercolor, acrylic etc. No computer generated images will be accepted. Only one entry per student. Write in ink, the participant’s full name and school name on the back of all art work entries. Paperclip entry forms to art work.

Do not staple. All art work accompanied by completed entry forms must be received by May 1, 2014.

For more information and entry forms, contact your middle school art teacher, or contact Mr. Robert Baily, Baily Insurance and Coldwell Banker Real Estate, at 55 S. Washington St, PO Box 1070 Waynesburg, PA 15370 or by phone at 724-627-6121.

The winners of the club level contest (first through third place) will be awarded cash prizes.

The club level first place entry will advance to the district level where the District Level winners will be chosen. Additional cash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries at this level.

The top three entries at the District Level will also be used to produce a set of Rotary occasional cards, which will later be sold in support for Rotary’s work to promote world peace. For more information on Rotary International, visit: www.rotary.org.
