Category I: Grades 1 – 6
Category II: Grades 7 – 12*
Category III: 18 years* and older

A Grand Prize winner will be awarded to the overall winning entry.

* Artist who is 18 years old and a high-school student may choose to be considered in either Category II or Category III, but not in both categories.

Theme of the Art Contest:

The Spirit of Democracy is an initiative led by the Orange County Registrar of Voters, in partnership with the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA), to showcase the talent of local Orange County artists and stimulate ideas and discussion on democracy. The Spirit of Democracy invites submissions from artists that evince the democratic process, civic engagement, and what democracy and voting mean.

All artwork should strive to capture the Spirit of Democracy and be related to the importance of voting and volunteerism. Images or depictions not relevant to the theme will be disqualified from the contest.
