Drawing Contest List
Dear Parents & Students,
Below are some of drawing contests that we are aware of. Please note the amount of classes that’s needed for completion of a drawing. If you wish to join any of the contests, please discuss with the teacher. We are not responsible for turning in or picking up drawings before or after the contests. We are also not responsible if drawings get lost (Most contests do not return drawings) or damaged. The student will take sole responsibility of joining contests.
Thank you!
