The Victorias Milling Company (VMC) and VMC Foundation are currently calling on elementary and high school students from across Negros to submit entries for the 7th Interschool Art Contest.

The competition will be divided into two categories, Interschool Elementary for Grades 1 to 6 and Interschool Secondary for Grades 7 to 12.

Interested applicants can take a clear snapshot of their submission and send it to vmcartcontest@gmail.com and vmcart@yahoo.com on or before September 4. A pre-screening jury will then decide on who to invite to the on-the-spot competitions, which will be held on September 14 at the Sidlakang Village in Dumaguete City for Negros Oriental qualifiers and on September 21 at Project Orange in Bacolod City for Negros Occidental qualifiers.

The semifinalists selected after the Dumaguete City and Bacolod City competitions qualify for the Annual Summer Art Workshop.

Final judging and awarding will be on September 22 at Project Orange.

The elementary champion will win P20,000, a trophy, and computer package; while the high school winner takes home P30,000, a trophy, and computer package./WDJ
