PHOENIX — There’s less than a week left to enter the Arizona State Treasurer’s Office AZ529 Arizona’s Education Savings Plan Art Contest, and there still hasn’t been a submission from Greenlee County.
The third-annual AZ529 Future Career Art Contest is open to children in kindergarten through sixth grade, and asks students to draw, paint or find a creative way to make an art piece representing his or her dream job.
A total of 15 winners will be selected across the state and receive $529 towards opening a new or existing AZ529 Education Savings Plan account. Winners will be selected from all Arizona counties and at least one winner representing a district school, charter school, private school, tribal school, and homeschool will be selected.
In all, nearly $8,000 will be distributed to 15 students to kickstart or contribute to saving for their educational plans beyond high school.
Winners will be honored by Treasurer Kimberly Yee during a special ceremony at the State Capitol at the end of March.
To enter, go to the AZ529 Future Career Art Contest web page. Deadline to submit is March 3.
