Flamingle Art Contest

Calling all young artists! We are hosting our second annual art contest for local kids to submit a piece of artwork that celebrates all things FUN in Sandwich. Finalists will have their work auctioned off at our Flamingle, with all proceeds supporting our mission to bring more fun to kids in our community.

Artists ages 5-18, this is your chance to showcase your creativity and make a difference—submit a piece you’d be proud to give away, and help us raise funds for Sandwich!

The Prompt

Imagine you’re showing someone the town of Sandwich for the very first time. What would you want to show them? What makes your hometown special? How do you have fun there? Use colors, shapes, and details to tell a story of Sandwich and the fun things that make it unique to you!

Acceptable Art Forms

Let your creativity fly! A drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, or mixed media- it just has to fit on no larger than a 5x7 canvas.

You may send a draft of your vision on paper and note the medium you would use in the final piece.

Submissions

We are eager to see your work! We are accepting submissions until May 9th to select our finalists and give enough time to create their final piece!

Attach your PDF, PNG, or JPG to to sandwichfundation@gmail.com with subject line: 2025 Art Submission.
