This year’s art contest is inspired by light—daylight, nightlight, lamplight or any light. Perhaps the sun makes you think of sunny Southern California, the sunshine of your life, or what you love about a beautiful day. What is on the sunny side of your mind? What lights up your life?
DEADLINE: MARCH 31, 2007
