Farm Bureau seeks entries for 2021 high school art contest

Posted

Are you a high school student who likes to create art or do you know one who does? Then check out the 2021 Georgia Farm Bureau High School Art Contest! Emanuel County Farm Bureau is offering a $50 first place cash prize, as well as district and state winners will receive additional cash prizes.
The contest is open to all public, private and homeschool students in 9th through 12th grades. Students entering the contest are asked to draw scenes depicting one of the almost 80 Georgia Farm Bureau Certified Markets located across the state. Visit www.gfb.ag/CertifiedFarmMarket to find a market to illustrate. If you can’t visit a CFM in person, select a market from the GFB CFM webpage and visit the market’s website or social media account for inspiration. Search “Farm Monitor Certified Farm Market” on YouTube for video tours of several markets.
The purpose of the Farm Bureau Art Contest is to encourage students to creatively explore Georgia agriculture. By asking the students to illustrate a Georgia Farm Bureau Certified Farm Market, we are giving the students an opportunity to visit a working farm and see agriculture in action.
To enter the contest, students should contact the Emanuel County Farm Bureau for contest rules. All entries must be received at the Emanuel Farm Bureau office by Feb. 26, 2021.
Founded in 1937, Georgia Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general farm organization. Its volunteer members participate in local, state and national activities to promote agriculture to their non-farming neighbors. GFB offers its members a wide variety of benefits, including insurance, but enrollment in any of the member benefits is optional and not a requirement for membership.
