Historic Cane Hill Inc., in collaboration with the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences and the University of Arkansas School of Art, will host the second annual High School Student Art Competition, open to all high school-age students living in Arkansas.

The Grand Prize senior recipient will receive the Historic Cane Hill Young Artist Scholarship, a one-year tuition and fees scholarship to the University of Arkansas School of Art valued at $10,000 for the 2021-22 academic year.

More than $2,000 in additional prizes will be awarded to sophomore, junior, and senior artists in the exhibition as well. The competition is made possible thanks to the generous support of sponsors Ozarks Electric, PGTelco, and WER Architects/Planners.

There is no entry fee for this event. Entries may be submitted through the University of Arkansas SlideRoom at Art Competition Entries
