The Arts Across Arkansas program funds high school students nominated by teachers to submit original works in music composition, dance choreography, literary arts, visual arts, photography, and film. Finalists receive mentorship to refine their works and compete in a state finals event with cash prizes awarded to top submissions. AI-created works are not accepted, and students must be present at the finals to qualify.
Open to high school students nominated by teachers. Students who placed first in the previous year are ineligible this year. Submissions must be original and not created using AI.
