Calendar art contest open to kids

Community Action Partnership of Northwest Montana (CAPNM) is sponsoring its third annual art contest within Flathead, Lake, Lincoln and Sanders counties. Students in grades K-12 can submit artwork depicting what energy conservation means to them. CAPNM encourages students to be creative and design works of art showing any type of energy conservation: electric, water, heat, recycling, etc. A calendar created from the 13 winning pieces will be used to promote energy conservation throughout the year. The cover and each month will be represented by a different student’s artwork.

Entries must be dropped off or mailed to CAPNM, 214 S. Main St., Kalispell, MT 59901. Winners will be announced and prizes will be given out by June 1. The students who created one of the calendar’s 13 selected pieces of artwork will each receive a $50 gift card. Artwork must have the students name, grade and contact information. CAPNM reserves the right to extend the deadline date of the contest, depending on the number of submissions.
