It’s back! Every year Sun West holds the Student Art Contest. All Sun West students are invited to submit artwork that depicts life in Sun West and its communities. There is a winner and runner up in four categories based on Grade levels. Each winner and runner up receives a gift certificate and their art is displayed at the Division Office in Rosetown for one year.

Last year, over 300 students, from two thirds of Sun West’s schools entered the contest. The student entries went through an initial review and top entries were selected in each category. The top entries were then judged by a group that included the Board of Education, Sun West Division Office Staff and some student leaders. These judges voted for the entries they felt were best and those with the most votes were awarded first place and runner up in each category.

The winners of the 2023-24 Sun West Student Art Contest were recognized in May 2024 by presentations made at their schools and celebrated with pizza parties.
