Art Showcase
Art Showcase is a competition that recognizes both the best individual artists and best art programs in North Carolina schools. An unlimited number of students in each school may participate in the school-level competition. Students are presented with a prompt and given about one month to create their submission. Media categories include painting, drawing, collage, photography, and other creative efforts. Electronic copies of submissions are sent to NCASA and forwarded to judges. Submissions from top teams and students from each category advance to the State Finals and are evaluated by judges in a live exhibition.
2024-2025 Prompt: What does The Sound of Silence look like? Create a work of art inspired by the song The Sound of Silence written by Paul Simon. You may use the original version released in 1965 by Simon and Garfunkel or the version released by Disturbed in 2015.
