Art for Earth is an environmental arts competition for Dallas youth ages 13-18 where applicants can submit their film/poetry to be featured at the Dallas Public Library.

The theme for the competition is the environment. We encourage you to take creative freedom in your interpretation, but be sure your final result still coincides with the competition theme. We would love to see your unique style and artistic voice in your submissions. If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to email us and ask.

We are accepting submissions from February 23rd to May 9th for poetry and short films. Final judging will occur through May, and the final event will be in June. Once finalists and winners are announced, we will reach out with further details and encourage all participants to attend the event and support their fellow artists as it is free! There will be one winner and two finalists per art category. Each winner receives a $100 prize. Winners and finalists will be invited to have their film screened or poetry read at the Dallas Public Library and participate in a panel to discuss their work afterwards. Placing poems/films will also be featured on the Art for Earth website.

We wish you luck!
