Submit entries in Baker City, Pendleton or La Grande
EASTERN OREGON — There’s still time for young artists to submit a poster about climate change in a contest organized by the Eastern Oregon Climate Change Coalition (EOC3) in partnership with Crossroads Carnegie Art Center in Baker City, Pendleton Center for the Arts and Art Center East in La Grande.
There are two categories: teens, ages 13-18; and ages 12 and younger. EOC3 was awarded an Amazon Web Services grant for the contest, and each art center will offer a total of $1,200 in cash prizes for winning entries.
The theme for 2025 is “What can we do individually or as a community to build resiliency in the face of climate change?”
Entry is free. All media — digital or hand-crafted — is accepted. No AI-assisted or generated work will be accepted, including Canva templates.
A poster can be submitted to only one art center. Each has a different deadline:
- Pendleton Center for the Arts, 214 N. Main St.: Deadline is Sept. 20. Free cardstock, art supplies and studio space is available. Submit online entries at pendletonarts.org/eoc3posters or drop posters off at the center. A pizza party to announce winners and celebrate all entries will be held Sept. 25 at 6 p.m.
