The Nevada Mining Association is inviting students across the state to take part in an art contest tied to the national America 250 celebration, encouraging young artists to explore how mining has shaped Nevada and the country.
Participants will create original artworks that reflect the prompt, “How has mining in Nevada helped build America – and what does the future look like?” The contest is open to students K-12, and submissions are due May 15, with winners to be announced May 22.
The grand prize includes the opportunity to throw the first pitch at the Reno Aces’ Mining Night game on June 27, along with suite tickets and a one-night hotel stay in Reno. An additional 15 students will have their work selected for a public exhibition.
Entries may include drawing, painting, mixed media, or digital art, and must be original work submitted with a short artist statement. Photography, AI-generated art, and copyrighted images are not accepted. Submissions must include the student’s name, county, grade, artwork title, artist statement, and a photo or scan of the artwork.
