Art Docents of Los Gatos
STUDENT LOGO SUBMISSION REQUEST – 2018
____________________________________________________________
The Art Docents of Los Gatos, an all-volunteer and nonprofit organization, has been teaching art to students in the Los Gatos Union School District since 1973. On the occasion of the Art Docents’ 45th Anniversary, the organization would like to update its logo, used for visibility and positive recognition on different supports, website and documents.
In order to achieve this, the Art Docents are pleased to organize a submission request, open to Los Gatos High School registered students. Holding true to our core values of providing art education to students in our school district, we wanted to give Los Gatos High students the first opportunity to submit their creative designs. We believe that including the students, who have been part of the Art Docents program, is a great way to collaborate and move together into our next 45 years.
The design that meets the requirements and best represents the ideals of the Art Docents will be awarded $300.00. A second design may be awarded $150.00. Those two designs may be displayed at the student art show in May at Fisher Middle School.
Artworks must be submitted before midnight PST on March 26, 2018. Submissions will not be accepted after this date.

Los Gatos High School
