CAC Accepting Submissions for Student Art Contest
North Berwick, ME—February 14, 2025— Having served over 6,000 student artists and musicians throughout Maine and New Hampshire since its founding in 2015, Continuum Arts Collective (CAC) is accepting art submissions for its 2025 Student Art Contest. Held annually, the contest invites K-12 students in Maine and New Hampshire to create a design for a t-shirt, hoodie, or other apparel that includes the words, Continuum Arts Collective, without including the organization’s logo.
“We are always impressed by the submissions we receive from students of all ages,” said CAC founder Martin England. “Last year, an 8-year-old won the prize with a fantastic design. I can’t wait to see what we receive this year.”
Submissions will be split into two age categories, 5-12 and 13-18, with the winners awarded a $500 gift card to either Michael’s or Blick Arts. The winning designs will be printed on a t-shirt and sold at CAC’s Revel in the Meadow event in North Berwick on Saturday, August 16, 2025, and shared on social media and other marketing platforms.
According to England, the art contest embodies CAC’s mission to provide art materials and musical instruments to students in Maine and New Hampshire. “We will provide art supplies at no cost to students who want to participate in this contest,” he said. “Art and music allow us to connect to one another and ourselves. We want every student to have the materials they need to create a design.”
For students interested in participating in the 2025 Student Art Contest, CAC will accept submissions with three colors (or less) created with pen and ink, pencil, marker, opaque watercolor, acrylic or oil paint, or cut paper collage. Students may submit up to three designs, and all submissions must be the student’s original work.
“My advice to students is to experiment and have fun with this,” added England. “If there’s more art in the world, there’s more kindness, empathy, and creativity.”
Founded in 2015, CAC provides art supplies and materials, instruments, music instruction, and cultural experiences to K-12 students in Maine and New Hampshire. To learn more about Continuum Arts Collective, including the 2025 Student Art Contest, visit continuumarts.org.
