Prevail’s 100 Men announces the third annual “Chalk it Up!” Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest.
Chalk it Up! will highlight the artistic and creative talent of youth and bring the community together. The competition is intended to be a fun and creative experience for youth, while being led by positive male role-models in their community. Art is valuable because it allows children to process their world and helps develop problem-solving abilities. The theme of this year’s contest, Connection, coincides with important developmental assets that Prevail strives to reinforce.
Chalk it Up! is a free event and is open to the public. It will take place from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 26. Chalk it Up! will partner with Spark!Fishers to bring the chalk art contest to the Kid’s Zone. The Kid’s Zone will be in the lawn outside of Fishers City Hall, 1 Municipal Drive.
This event is open to all youth in grades K-12. Pre-registration is encouraged, as space will be limited. Youth can register in one of the age groups to compete for prizes at prevailinc.org.
