The First Annual Mayor’s Wellness Campaign Student Art Contest and Exhibit is officially underway! Join the Borough in celebrating this year’s theme: “Emerging from Isolation and Embracing Community,” by submitting a work of art.
All Haddonfield students in elementary, middle, and high school grades are encouraged to participate in this contest by submitting an image of an original piece of art inspired by the theme. Students must be Haddonfield residents but do not have to attend school within the Haddonfield School District.
Original works of art inspired by the theme in any of the following media may be entered into the contest: paintings, drawings, pastels, fabrics, sculptures, photographs, or mixed media.
Submissions will be accepted online through 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23. Once entered, the artwork will become part of the virtual exhibit, showcasing Haddonfield youth’s artistic talent, creativity, and resiliency. The Exhibit will go live at the Haddonfield Health and Wellness Festival on Oct. 1 and winners will be announced that day.
Be a part of our Borough’s history and artistic tradition by sharing your works of art! Mayor’s Wellness Campaign Student Art Contest and Exhibit Rules:
