Fastframe Asks Kids to Draw: My Favorite Place

Aug. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- FASTFRAME, the national custom picture framing franchise, is hosting its first annual Art Contest for Kids.  Local participating franchisees will be encouraging children, ages 6 through 10, to create a piece of art based on the theme: My Favorite Place. Beginning on September 14th and continuing until November 14th, participating franchisees will accept artwork in their store and they will each pick a first and second place from among the entries brought in.  Both pieces will be framed for free, courtesy of the local store owner and donated framing materials from Nielsen Bainbridge.  All second place winners will be displayed in the local store while the first place winners are sent off to the corporate office in Newbury Park, California, to be judged in the national contest.  The national winning artist will receive a $250 gift card for art supplies, with an additional $250 gift card going to his or her school.  In addition, the national winning piece will be displayed on the home page of the corporate website for the month of January 2010.

Pat Johnson, a member of the Arts Council of the Conejo Valley and judge for the national contest commented, “I am so excited to be part of the judging team for the Fastframe Kids Art Contest!  I can’t wait to see what favorite places turn up in the entries.  It will be a joy to see how kids see the world and how they represent it through their art.  Maybe the next Renoir or Dali is in the entries.   Get drawing kids!”
