You and your students are invited to enter the fourth Artist Trading Card Contest sponsored by SchoolArts. Artist trading cards are minia- ture works of art, always 2½ x 3½" ( 6 x 9 cm),
and are traded by all ages. They can be about anything
and made with any media, materials, or techniques, but
should fit into a plastic trading card sleeve. They can be
produced as one-of-a-kind originals, in limited editions,
or in a series based on a particular theme or subject. It’s
all up to the individual artist. Visit schoolartsonline.
com to find a template you can copy and share with your
students.
Best in show winners will be chosen from each of the
following six categories: early elementary (grades K– 2),
upper elementary ( 3–5), middle school ( 6–8), high school
( 9–12), preservice art education college students, and
K– 12 art teachers. Winners in each category will be pub-
lished in the April 2010 issue of SchoolArts and displayed
at the 2010 National Art Education Association conven-
tion in Baltimore, Maryland. Each winner will receive a
$100 Davis Publications gift certificate for his or her class-
room, art materials from leading manufacturers, and a
complimentary April 2010 issue of SchoolArts.
