2014 Art Contest – Theme: Building Hope 

The theme of the Marley’s Mission 2013-2014 Art Contest is “Building Hope.” Children were invited to to use their imaginations to envision what that can translate into through a drawing.  (Contest ended November, 2013.)

Selected artwork may be chosen to represent Marley’s Mission at a First Friday Scranton event in December and at the Fourth Annual Marley’s Mission Blue Ribbon Gala on Feb. 15, 2014.  Additionally, finalists’ entries may have their work turned into special occasion blank note cards that will be sold to benefit Marley’s Mission.
