Original drawings, photographs, paintings, digital work or any two-dimensional art will be considered. It should reflect KHSU, its golden anniversary or its contributions to the region and individuals.

Four categories will be judged to select finalists: Youth artists under 13 years of age on September 1, 2009; adult artists, those over 13, on September 1, 2009; professional artists, i.e., those who have derived income from their art and digital artists of any age or expertise.

Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2009.

Finalists will be chosen by a group of judges selected by the station. Finalist art in all categories will be displayed between October 2009 and March 2010 at various venues and voted on by the public. Winners will receive prizes and their art will be featured in posters, calendars, shirts, tote bags and other KHSU memorabilia.
