About Us

CelebratingArt.com is devoted to the promotion and appreciation of student art. The intent of our student art contests is to motivate student artists.The top entries are published in an anthology that will record the creative works of today's student artists.

 

WE LOVE EDUCATION

Our company founders come from a family of artists and educators. We believe that school art programs are the largest motivator for young artists and that our contests and publications enhance your art program curriculum. Unlike a yearbook, our art book showcases student achievements and preserves more than just a photograph of classmates. Our philosophy in judging entries is to be selective so that it is an honor to be published, but not so exclusive that it is discouraging to enter the contest.

 

WE SUPPORT EDUCATION

Our Classroom Rewards program helps fund classroom supplies for teachers across the United States. Teachers can also use their rewards points for additional free copies of our anthology. As always, any teacher with five or more students published receive a free copy of the anthology that features their student artists.

 

WE BENEFIT STUDENTS

Being published in our anthology looks great on college applications. Top Ten Winners are selected for each contest and receive a free copy of the anthology, a $25 award, and special recognition in the book. There is no requirement for a student to purchase an anthology; however, if a student wishes to purchase one, it is made available at an affordable price.
