The Lamorinda Arts Council will host its 16th Annual High School Visual Arts Competition from Feb. 14 to March 14 at the Art Gallery at the Orinda Library. This annual exhibition provides the community a wonderful opportunity to view a wide range of creative, original work by local students and recognizes the region's dedicated high school art teachers.

Entries for the High School Visual Arts Competition are currently being accepted through Feb. 8. The competition is open to ninth through 12th grade students living in or attending public or private high schools in Orinda, Lafayette and Moraga. The competition is also open to all students who attend the Acalanes Union High School District schools, including Acalanes, Campolindo, Las Lomas, and Miramonte High Schools, regardless of residence.

Students may submit entries for 2D and 3D artwork as well as for photography and digital design. LAC offers community service hours for the project with school or district approval. The online registration form for entry is available now through Feb. 8, closing at midnight. The registration form as well as the full details of the competition can be found at www.lamorindaarts.org/vac.

Event Chair, Denise Nomura, is looking forward to this year's participants: "It's going to be another exciting year of High School Art! The talent in this community is amazing and we are expecting over 200 pieces. The community is sure to be impressed."

Competition award winners will be announced during a free, public reception from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20 at the Art Gallery at the Orinda Library. A panel of arts professionals and educators will judge and award winners.
