LSC is hosting it’s sixth annual student art competition.

The basic idea of the competition is to distinguish students around the college who do exemplary work in the visual arts field. However, this competition is open to any LSC student no matter what major.

Most colleges with Visual Arts programs hold competitions very much like this one. It allows students to realize how competitive the arts field really is. This in turn will help to better them for their future after college.

“Our work is constantly judged and compared to others”, Barclay Tucker said, The Arts are highly competitive and we need to start thinking in terms of how we can better ourselves and our work and still remain true to who we are as artists.”

They are awarded for their work with a gold, silver, and bronze placement for each class. Best of show and a Best Freshman award are the other such honors that the judges will be looking for. Top awards will be given a monetary award in a range from $10-$100.

The Award Ceremony will be held on Thursday April 17 at 12:30 p.m. in front of the Quimby Gallery. The work will be able to be viewed in the Gallery from April 17-May 6.
