Crossroads Carnegie Art Center is excited to host a Poster & Literary Contest to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This contest is open to everyone in and around Baker County. The goal of the contest is for participants to analyze their own thoughts and feelings about America, what it means to them, and what they want it to be, using the prompt: “What America Means to Me.”

All work is due to Crossroads by May 1. Both the poster and literary sections include four age groups, and the winner of each age group will receive a $250 cash prize. Winners will be announced on First Friday, June 5.
