The Hawaii Meth Project welcomes submissions to its 2016 “Break the Ice” Art Contest, a statewide initiative aimed at communicating the risks of methamphetamine through art, while empowering Hawaii’s youth to share the organization’s “Not Even Once” message.
Students in grades 7 through 12 are eligible to enter through 5 p.m. Feb. 12.
As direct inspiration for their artwork, prospective entrants are asked to visit www.HawaiiMethProject.org or www.MethProject.org to explore the interactive facts, videos, animations, information from experts, and personal stories. Using these tools, teens can create a visual work of traditional or digital art, incorporating a clear anti-meth theme with the goal of influencing how people across the state view this dangerous drug.
Submissions will be evaluated on how well the artist portrayed his or her meth prevention message, as well as for its artistic merit and creativity. Contest winners will be announced in March.
In addition, there will be a People’s Choice Award with a $100 prize for the entry that receives the most “likes” on the “Break the Ice” Art Contest webpage. The People’s Choice Award voting period runs from Feb. 16 to March 1.
Entrants may upload a photo or scan of their original artwork to the “Break the Ice” Art Contest webpage at https://hawaiimethproject.wishpond.com/breaktheice2016.
