Students in grades 9-12 who love to create have an opportunity to submit entries for the Mayor’s Art Challenge.

Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief, along with all the county commissioners, will select one first place winner and one runner up from each of the nine districts in the county. The top artists will receive cash prizes and be honored at a County Commission meeting. On Oct. 21, the winning pieces will be auctioned off and proceeds will benefit the United Way.
