CAM on the 2026 theme, Connection:
“What makes you feel connected? Who are you connected to, and how? What connections do you have with the world around you? These could be your personal connections or ones you observe. We want to see your unique interpretation of the theme in a 2D medium of your choice, whether that’s painting, drawing, mixed media, illustration, printmaking, or something else!”

Criteria for submitting artwork:

  • Only one artwork per student may be submitted using the form below.
  • Artwork must measure 10 inches by 10 inches.
  • Artwork can be completed in the medium of your choice, but the finished product must be able to hang on a wall using a 1/2″ binder clip at the top.
  • Digital submissions must be a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png file.
  • Photos of submitted artwork should be properly cropped to eliminate any background behind the artwork.
