About the Visual Arts Contest...

The annual Culture Shapers Visual Arts Contest enables student artists to compete for more than $85,000 in cash prizes in six categories... drawing, painting, electronic media, mixed media, photography and sculpture. The contest takes place in the Fall, and is open to all High School Students in Harris, Waller, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.

Students receive a commemorative t-shirt with their entry fee of $20. Entry forms are downloaded from the website and parents, students or teachers deliver the entries to the drop-off location.

Each year, the Culture Shapers Volunteer Staff receive about 1,500 entries! This year, jurying will take place on Sunday, November 2nd. The top ten finalists in each category are personally invited to the exclusive Awards Night, where the winners are finally announced!

About the Culture Shapers Jurying Process...

Culture Shapers jurors are a combination of educators and professionals, who come highly recommended to us by other notable organizations, such as the Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE), as well as others. Many of our jurors have experience both in and out of the classroom, which gives them a unique and valuable perspective on evaluating student artwork.

About Young Voices of Houston...

In 2005, Culture Shapers expanded into the performing arts, with the Young Voices of Houston performing arts contest. Featuring ten to twelve of the top vocalists from area high schools, Young Voices provides these talented students the opportunity to perform vocal works for a live audience and compete for cash prizes! Young Voices of Houston competitions are held several times throughout the year. Click here to learn more about Young Voices of Houston!



Corporate Sponsor Needed!

CultureShapers is looking for a Corporate Sponsor for 2007. There will be seven semi-final rounds and a final round! These young high school performers are future stars and Young Voices Of Houston provide them with potentially four years of live experience before judges.

In 2007, more than 100 students will perform before thousands of people over the eight events. The Corporate sponsor (or individual) will get their name (and logo) advertised on every event, programs, and varied publicity as well as the opportunity to present the finals winners check in the amount of $5,000, $2,500 for 2nd place, and $1,000 for 3rd.

Fully 100% of the donation (CultureShapers is a 501 c 3) is tax deductible and 95% of the funds go directly to students and judges with only 5% in administrative-misc. expenses. What charity does that? :-)
