Reminder: Art contest submissions for KSDE’s Great Ideas in Education Conference due by Friday, May 24

Submissions for the 2024 KSDE Great Ideas in Education conference’s student art contest must be postmarked by Friday, May 24.

This annual contest encourages students to use their creativity by entering an illustration (art conveying a visual representation of a theme or idea) for the KSDE annual conference.

The art contest is open to Kansas K-12 public and private school students.

The first-place prize is $150; the second-place prize is $100 and the third-place prize is $75.

The first-place illustration also will be featured in the conference materials. The three winning illustrations will be displayed at the conference, scheduled for Oct. 23-25 at the Hyatt Regency Wichita, and will be published on the KSDE website.

The first-place winner’s sponsoring teacher and principal will receive two nontransferable complimentary registrations to the conference. The sponsoring teacher and principal of the second- and third-place winners will receive one nontransferable complimentary registration.

If you have any questions about the conference, judging and guidelines for the student art contest or student performances, email Pat Bone, Great Ideas in Education Conference coordinator, at pbone@ksde.org.
