Submissions are being accepted for the New Kentucky Home Arts and Writing Contest, and all Kentuckians are invited to participate.
According to a release from the Kentucky Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet, Kentuckians of all ages can submit artwork, photos, videos, poetry, and short essays via social media by June 18 to participate. Kentucky Governor and First Lady Andy and Britainy Beshear say the contest is an opportunity to celebrate what makes the commonwealth special and reflect on both Kentucky’s history and its future.
The Governor and First Lady provided three prompts to inspire participants:
-What do you love more about your “New Kentucky Home”?
-What moment or person in Kentucky’s history inspires you?
-What is your dream for Kentucky?
To participate, post your work or a photo of your work to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or multiple platforms. Tag the Governor and the First Lady in the post. Include the hashtags #NewKentuckyHome and #TeamKentucky, and if you are a student hashtag your age group. The deadline to submit is June 18.
Winners in each age group will receive a complimentary two-night stay at Kentucky State Parks and a one-year membership to the Kentucky Historical Society.
