Here's an example of an entry in the contest, this one by Treslyn S. of Arlington.
COPPELL — Aaron Brothers Art & Framing has announced the finalists for its "Show Us Your America" Kids Art Contest. Online polling is now open, and Aaron Brothers invites you to vote for your favorite kid artist at www.showusyouramerica.com/vote. Online voting ends Friday, October 23, 2009.
Aaron Brothers invited kids ages 5-17 to submit a 9" x 12" original work of art for a chance to win an Aaron Brothers shopping spree for themselves and their school. Aaron Brothers received over 3,000 entries from kids. Each of Aaron Brothers' 155 locations held in-store voting events to select that store's semi-finalist. Aaron Brothers' judging panel then selected 10 finalists to compete for the grand prize.
"We were amazed by the number of talented, young artists that participated and by the incredible artwork that they produced," said Jim King, Aaron Brothers general manager. "All the submissions showcased patriotism in creative, inspirational ways and we can't wait to see the online voting results."
The grand prize winner will receive a $500 Aaron Brothers shopping spree and a $1,000 Aaron Brothers shopping spree for their designated school. The second place prize winner will receive a $200 Aaron Brothers shopping spree and a $500 Aaron Brothers shopping spree for their designated school.
