Thank you for entering our Celebrating Art student art contest. Congratulations! Your art has been selected to be published in the Spring 2026 full-color hardbound book Celebrating Art. This is a coffee table quality book. It is an honor to be invited, as only the best entries are selected to be published. At this time, be sure to use the online permission form so your art can be included in the book. Your art is in the final competition and you still may win a final award for the contest. Once the Top Ten winners have been selected, you can view their names and their art on our website at www.celebratingart.com.

If you are interested in recording this proud moment forever, you can grant permission to be published and place an order. Whether you order an art book or not, please give us permission so that your work may be shared with others and your teacher may earn classroom art supplies.
