Enjoy your summer, while you create a piece of art for the FLAGS Across The Nation, Patriotic Art Contest.

Children, grades 1to 6 wanted to enter our contest. There is still time. The deadline is August 1. Show your love for the United States of America. Submit your colorful red, white and blue drawings or paintings to FLAGS.

Your winning art will be featured on our website and enjoyed by 1,000’s of active duty military, veterans and patriotic Americans. After the contest, all art will be sent to our deployed troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Pick up that pen or pencil and create your magnificent piece of art. Every 1st thru 6th grade artist to submit an entry will receive a mini American Flag!

Our troops love to see drawings of American flags, children saluting the flag, themes of freedom and anything that has red, white and blue.

If you want to add a few words of appreciation or patriotism to your drawing, go ahead and do that. It will be valued.

Enjoy your patriotic summer of fun!
