ABOUT THE SHOWCASE:

Impact: In 2016, we hosted our inaugural Battle of the Teal art showcase in the Masonic Temple in Cleveland, Ohio. Back then, twelve inner-city students took the stage to battle, and we crowned our first winner – Courtney Owens. She then went on to attend Ohio Wesleyan University. Since then, several other winners have pursued their higher education dreams.

Since then, we have been fortunate enough to witness several other winners pursuing their academic goals. Our scholarships and prizes are worth over $33,000, and we have provided more than 40 educational and art experiences that have impacted the lives of over 11,000 artists across nine counties of Northeast Ohio and beyond. With 36 category winners, four “Best in Show” awardees, and two “Founders’ Pick” awardees, we are proud of the immense success of our initiative.

Opportunity: K-12 students who are working on developing their chosen art form, who wish to boost their confidence, and who are excited to express and showcase their creativity, can participate virtually or live.

Application: Each student can submit one application per category. The two showcase categories are visual (to include media arts) and performing arts. All submissions must be sent online between midnight Sept 1, 2023, through midnight Apr 30, 2024.
