Through the end of February, Long Beach elementary and middle school students can submit artwork depicting the city for a chance to win a cash prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the nine City Council districts will have two winners: one for grades 1-5 and one for grades 6-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest rules ask young artists to design an art piece \u201cthat captures our city\u2019s beauty and essence through 2D visual art or photography.\u201d Artworks must reflect the history, culture, and community of Long Beach, with particular emphasis on each artist\u2019s own community being encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winners in the middle school category will receive a $200 prize and winners in the elementary school category will get a $50 prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
