We just finished the May 2025 Circle C Kick Off to Summer Art & Writing Contest. Thank you, Kregel Publications, for suppling the book prizes and helping with the judging.
Young writers answered this prompt:
Imagine yourself living on a ranch in the 1880s. What would you spend your time doing? Lassoing? Riding a horse? Watching a sunrise or sunset? Or? Use your imagination to write an original piece about your favorite place on the ranch or a favorite ranch activity in less than 500 words, or create a short poem. Or you may create an original piece of artwork about your favorite place or favorite activity.






I can’t wait!

Here’s what my marketing gal said about doing graphic design for your entry:
Graphic design is basically using digital platforms like Canva or Adobe Illustrator to create art, but from scratch. It’s all digital drawing. I would say it just has to be original and can’t use elements they don’t own.
Hope that helps!
