Friends University Art Challenge 2024

After a brief hiatus due to Covid-19, we are excited to inform the community that the juried competition of art challenge will be returning to Friends’ Campus. The event will take place on Friday, April 5 from 7-11:30 a.m. in the Art and Engineering Labs located in the William Penn Science Building, Friends University Campus. Guest artists Tara Walker and Marc North will work directly with students on their art process. Students will take a campus tour of Friends and participate in an art scavenger hunt for prizes. Additionally, students will be able to engage with a student panel of Friends art majors and minors as well as speak to admissions representatives.  

A professional artist in the Wichita community will judge the juried competition portion of the event. Works will be ranked according to each medium, and we will have first, second, and third place winners in each category. Please see the categories below. We welcome all juniors and seniors at the high school level to submit to this competition. Students can submit to multiple categories. All art will be on display at the event for students to view.

Winners of the competition will be awarded Friends University scholarships!

To submit to the contest, students must upload a digital image and title card of their work. Submissions must be received no later than Friday, March 22. Late submissions will not be eligible for the awards.

Participation in Friends University Art Challenge is capped at 20 juniors and seniors participants per school along with a 250 total limit on the entire event. We will send an admittance list before the event.
