Student Art Contest
The Marion County Springs Festival Student Art Contest is held in partnership with Marion County Public Schools and Marion County Public Library. The Springs Festival committee believes that education is the key to protecting our springs. Each year, more than a dozen teachers from elementary, middle, high school and home school organizations share lessons with their students on our springs, and the students create art that captures the essence of the lessons. The artwork is displayed at Library Headquarters in Ocala and the Dunnellon Public Library, where students, family and community members select their favorites. The committee selects one drawing or painting to appear on T-shirts for the next year's festival Students who are interested in participating should talk with the art teacher at their school. Artwork must be submitted through a teacher or home school organization.
