This event is open to grades 4-12 in diocesan schools/faith formation programs. Recognition and cash prizes for the top two places in each age category will be awarded. Entries of drawings, colorings and/or paintings will be evaluated based on both quality of the artwork as well as student descriptions of faith inspiration attributed to the piece.
Students are asked to take inspiration from one of two possible themes:
- Season of Creation theme “Immersion in Living Water” (Ezekiel 47:1-12) calling for transformation – to be immersed in the living water flowing from the throne of God- stepping in deeper and deeper, inspired by the Spirit of God, working together for the renewal of Creation.
- The extraordinary Jubilee Year of St. Francis
