Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is encouraging Kansas elementary students — kindergarten through sixth grade — to show their Kansas pride by submitting original artwork for the state’s Show Your Kansas Pride Screen Saver Contest.

The contest is open to all Kansas elementary students who want to share their Kansas pride. Through April 22, elementary students can submit original artwork to promote Kansas.

For entry details, go to www.accesskansas.org/learning/contest

In May, the top entries will be featured on the state’s official Web site (accesskansas.org). The public will be encouraged to vote for their favorites. Once voting is complete, the top entry from each grade will be compiled into a downloadable screen saver and featured on the accessKansas Web site.

In June, the governor will award prizes, and winners and their families will be invited to spend a day in the capital city.

“This art contest gives Kansas kids an opportunity to show Kansas is a wonderful place to live and visit,” Sebelius said. “The Internet is a powerful resource for education and a perfect place to display elementary students’ artwork.”
