Unleash the PAWsibilities Area Youth Creative Arts Contests
July 10 - August 10
DPAW’s 8th Annual Unleash the PAWsibilities Youth Creative Contest is accepting submissions through Aug. 10. The contest is open to youth ages 5 to 16 in visual arts and creative writing.
Participants may choose one of two themes: “Celebrating Creatures Great and Small in My Backyard and Beyond” or “What Makes Your Favorite Animal Special?” Youth may enter one or both categories. Local artists and writers will judge entries. Winners in three age groups will receive trophies. A Best Visual and Literary Combination award will also be presented. Every participant will be entered into a prize raffle.
A Family Celebration and awards ceremony will be held at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21, at the Gleason Family YMCA. Winners do not need to be present to receive prizes. All submissions will be displayed at the Wareham Main Street Post Office during September.
Entries may be dropped off at the Wareham Free Library and the Gleason Family YMCA. Registration forms and contest details are available at warehamdogpark.org. Those unable to print a registration form may include the required information with their submission. Questions may be directed to sammorrison@comcast.net.
