Is Your Child the Next
Picasso?
Would you like to see your child's art on the cover of Washington Parent magazine?
We're looking for young artists ages 5 to 15 for our 2012 Kids Get Creative Art Contest. One winner's masterpiece will be chosen to appear on the cover of the November arts issue of Washington Parent. We'll also spotlight some of our budding artists inside the November issue.

To Enter
  • Send the original copy of your kid's creation to Washington Parent, 4701 Sangamore Rd., Suite N-270, Bethesda, MD, 20816.
  • Or, email a hi-resolution digital file (.jpg, .png, PDF or EPS file) to contests@washingtonparent.net. If the file is larger than 10 mb, we recommend using yousendit.com or pastelink.me to send us the files.
  • UPDATE: Contest extended through October 5, 2012.
Contest Rules
  • Entries must be vertical and on a flat surface. The preferred size of artwork is 9.5 inches wide by 11.5 inches high, though sizes that vary slightly will be considered.
  • Be sure to tell us the artist's name, age, hometown and school. Clip this info to the art.
  • If possible, leave the top of the illustration uncrowded so we have space for the Washington Parent magazine title.
  • Washington Parent will not return submissions unless the mailing includes a self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage.
  • Washington Parent is not responsible for any loss or damage to artwork submitted.
  • Entering the contest is free, but all submissions must be received by 5 p.m. Oct. 5 to be considered.
