Anita Magnotta, the children’s activities director at the Pompano Beach Library, 1213 E. Atlantic Blvd. is seeking students to submit artwork for a contest.

The theme of the contest is “change” which was inspired by the President Elect Barack Obama’s campaign message of change. Magnotta is asking students to submit artwork that depicts changes needed in America.

Participants can enter an essay, sculpture, a 3D model, or any form of artwork to help display Obama’s message of change. Magnotta is also willing to help the students learn how to create a video or a comic book storyline.

“Rather then read a book, let’s make one,” she said.

Submissions can be made by an individual or a team and Magnotta recently extended the deadline to May.

“It gives them time to learn what the president is doing,” Magnotta said.

The contest will feature plenty of winners, as there will be a variety of categories and winners. A grand prizewinner for each category will also be chosen. Currently, Magnotta is seeking sponsors to help pay for the prizes.
