Statewide NE CASA event begins Sept. 6

“Chalk it Up for CASA,” a street chalk art competition hosted by Nebraska CASA, will begin Sept. 6 and end Sept. 20.

All ages, all over Nebraska can participate in this competition. This event was designed to spread the word about CASA’s advocacy for kids and the need for more volunteers.

Those wanting to participate can send a photo of their art to Deb Mohlman at director@fillmorecasa. org; for questions call 402-759-4975. The person’s art must be accompanied by the name of the artist, date, time, and place, so CASA staff can arrange for a picture of the drawing to send to Nebraska CASA for final judging.

Photos of the art must be submitted by 5 p.m., Sept. 20.

Winners will be announced Friday, Sept. 24. Prizes include: • $500—Grand Prize • $250—Second Place • $100—Third Place • $50—Best Children’s Piece • $50—Best Family Piece • $50—People’s Choice Award

Everyone is welcome to apply to participate in the chalk art contest. There is no cost to submit an entry into the contest.

Judging will be based on: • Originality/Creativity • Interpretation and Execution of CASA Mission and the need for more volunteers • Overall Design

Chalk is provided for all artists by Fillmore County CASA and CASA of South Central.
