🐝 BEE A PART OF 250!

Calling all young artists! Help us celebrate America’s 250th birthday and our wonderful hometown with a creative poster design!

Your poster should bring together bee-inspired elements 🐝, America’s 250th anniversary, and what you think makes Paris, Illinois, special. Think honeybees, the Honeybee Festival, local landmarks, community traditions, our town, stars & stripes, celebrations—or come up with something totally your own!

There are four age groups:
🐝 Preschool & Kindergarten
🐝 1st–4th Grade
🐝 5th–8th Grade
🐝 9th–12th Grade

Show us what “Bee a Part of 250” means to YOU!

📅 Entries due September 15
📍 Presented by Link Art Gallery

We can’t wait to see Paris through your eyes. 🇺🇸🐝💛
