CONTEST DETAILS:

The Draw Your Own Vinetrope Contest was the perfect creative project for teens and preteens who are artists at heart, like to draw, or who are just true fans of Return of the Vinetropes. The goal of the contest was to create and draw a brand new vinetrope character. Entrants were allowed to use pencil, colored pencils, charcoal, markers, ink or a mixture of these media in their drawings. The prizes for this contest included $500 Amazon gift cards for first place winners, art supplies, art books, and a chance to showcase your winning drawings!  There were two age groups eligible to enter the contest: middle school students (grades 6-8) and high school students (grades 9-12) as of this fall, 2018. There was a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner for each age group. The winners were notified on October 15th via email and the winning pieces are to be published on Vinetrope social media, on our website, and in our monthly newsletter for everyone to see!
