Contest Information
Help us celebrate our Keep the Broad Creek Clean Festival! The Outside Foundation invites elementary and middle school students to submit their original artwork for the opportunity to have it turned into temporary tattoos for the festival. This contest is designed to showcase students' love for the environment and their favorite aspects of living in the Lowcountry while also allowing them to express their creativity and environmental awareness through art.

Themes: Your design should feature creatures from the Lowcountry or the salt marsh environment. Examples include crabs, pelicans, dolphins, marsh grass, oysters, etc.
