BYU’s Center for the Study of Europe is once again sponsoring its annual art competition to encourage European awareness in Utah Schools. This year, the competition is being expanded to include all students in grades K–8. The 2013 theme is “My European Stamp.” Students are invited to create a piece of art using any artistic medium that looks like a stamp on the official 8.5x11 template provided by CSE. Artwork created on any other paper will not be accepted.

Postage stamps have a long tradition of celebrating what is special and unique about each country. When we look at stamps from different countries, we get a glimpse into what is beautiful and important in that part of the world. Some stamps show pictures of important
people, others show important buildings or unique landscapes, and some stamps combine all of these things into one picture. No matter what the image, stamps help us recognize the wonderful things other countries have to offer.

Choose a country or a city in Europe you would like to visit. Then look at pictures of its buildings, statues, bridges, mountains, people, art, costumes, food, or anything else from that place. Draw a stamp that illustrates one or more of your favorite things from that part of Europe.
