Are you a high school student who likes to create art or do you know one who does? Then check out the 2024 Georgia Farm Bureau High School Art Contest. The state winner will win $250, and 10 district winners will each receive $100.
The contest is open to all public, private and homeschool students in ninth through 12th grades.

Only one entry per person. Multiple entries will be disqualified. Previous state winners are not eligible. Students may enter the contest in the county in which they live or attend school but not both counties.
The Whitfield County Farm Bureau encourages students to enter the contest. The winners of the Whitfield County Farm Bureau Art Contest will receive $50 for first place, $35 for second place and $25 for third place.
Students should contact the Whitfield County Farm Bureau for an official entry form and contest rules at (706) 278-9380. All entries must be received at the Whitfield County Farm Bureau office by Feb. 16, 2024.
The purpose of the Farm Bureau Art Contest is to encourage students to creatively explore Georgia agriculture and increase their knowledge of the contributions it makes to our lives. Georgia farmers produce a wide variety of crops and livestock including poultry, beef cattle, dairy, cotton, peanuts, timber, pecans, blueberries and many other fruits and vegetables.
Drawings will be judged on 1) how well the artwork represents modern agriculture found in Whitfield County or Georgia and 2) artistic merit.
The Whitfield County Farm Bureau Art Contest winner will be entered in the Georgia Farm Bureau 1st District competition. All entries must be officially submitted by the Whitfield County Farm Bureau to the GFB contest.
All submitted artwork must be original and becomes the property of the Georgia Farm Bureau once submitted. GFB may use artwork from the contest on various products distributed or sold by the organization to promote agriculture.
