Billboard Generation IV

Your Art Here (YAH) is pleased to announce the fourth annual youth art billboard competition, Billboard Generation IV (BBG IV). In celebration of National Youth Art Month in March of 2006, Your Art Here is asking kids to make art on the topic "Who do you want to be when you grow up?" Chosen artwork from grade school through high school winners will be displayed on billboards in Bloomington and Indianapolis during March of 2006.

This year's topic encourages kids to self-reflect and to imagine the diverse ways they will contribute to society as adults: at home, at work, within the community and the world. By providing public advertising spaces for youth art we hope to encourage thought on how to enrich our community through visual dialogue. Through this project we want to instill in kids the desire, knowledge, and confidence that will allow them to engage their community and world throughout their lives.

• Entry forms and other projects materials such as posters, lesson plans, and resources for this topic are available at ella.slis.indiana.edu/~nroberg/YAH.
• Entries are due January 31st and should be mailed to: Your Art Here / BBG IV, 1419 S. Washington Street, Bloomington, IN 47401.

Every participant's artwork will be shown in a gallery exhibition in March!
