Many visitors to Presque Isle State Park express their experiences in different ways.  As an artist, share your natural impressions through Presque Isle’s 10th annual student art competition, “100 Years of Presque Isle”. Open to all students from first grade through college currently enrolled in a public, private, or home school. Categories include 8 x 10 photography, sculpture and other media. Register by emailing Brian Gula (Environmental Educator) by Friday April 1, 2022 at bgula@pa.gov. Artwork will be judged and an award presentation for artists and guests will occur on April 22, 2022 from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center. Each grade will have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner and a best in show will receive the Chairman’s Award. All artwork entered will be displayed on the 2nd floor of the TREC from April 23rd to May 30th.
