Ten finalists will be chosen and then displayed in U.S. Cellular stores in February, where the Knoxville community will be invited to vote for their favorites.
“This contest is a fun and educational way to celebrate our country’s diversity, and we look forward to seeing the talent and creativity that the kids bring to their art,” said Nathan Waddell, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for East Tennessee. “It’s great to team up with the Boys & Girls Clubs to showcase youth in honor of Black History Month.”
The 10 finalists’ artwork will be chosen by representatives from the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley and local U.S. Cellular leaders based on creativity, quality, interpretation, clarity of theme and overall impression.
