This year's contest is divided into two age groups: 10-14 (elementary school) and 15-18 (high school). Each age group will have three options for their arts forms, either writing, photography, or visual art based on one of the three following prompts:
"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." - Jonathan Swift
If your eyesight could tell its story, what would it show?
What does vision mean to you?
Please follow the rules in the rulebook below:
