Participants are asked to create an art piece that captures their interpretation of a “red beans and rice Monday moment.” To enter a piece, upload two or three photographs of the completed artwork using the form online at mondaytradition.com/contest.

Entrants can fall in one of three categories — students grade 5-8, students grade 9-12 or adults (anyone 18 or over). They must be Louisiana residents, and students must be registered in a Louisiana school.

The art contest is open to all mediums except photography — including two and three-dimensional, digital art, sculpture, watercolor, acrylic, oil, mosaic, fabric art, etc.
