All submissions should be emailed to KidEvents@LakeshoreSF.com by 11:59 PM on January 31st, 2025.
The contest winner will be announced at the Lakeshore Art Contest Showcase.
Theme
The artwork should represent what fitness means to a community from your perspective and should include themes of Lakeshore which are:
Team Fun
Fitness
Sports
Friendship and Family
We are looking to inspire young artists to create an original piece of art that represents what LSF is about — community, family, and a healthy, active lifestyle. Artists should portray more than just people engaged in sports or fitness activities and really go deeper into the value that an active lifestyle has to longevity, quality of life, and overall value to the community.
Judging Criteria
Submissions must be from a student in 9th-12th grade. Submissions will be judged on the following parameters:
Artistic Merit: Based on artistic skill.
Creativity: Representation of the contest theme in a fun and exciting way.
Theme Communication: How well the contest theme is expressed in the artwork. Include a written statement no longer than 3-5 sentences explaining how your art showcases the theme.
Medium: This project is intended to be a poster. Paint, drawing, coloring, or digital art is acceptable but must be able to be accessed as a digital image.
Disqualifications
- Submissions that are not original works, contain logos, or copyrighted imagery will be disqualified.
- Only one application per student. Only the first submission entered for each student will be considered, and any additional submissions will be disqualified.
Rules are subject to change. Winners will be decided by a panel of judges from the Lakeshore Sport & Fitness leadership team.
