​​​​2025 Theme "Arbol de la Vida / Tree of Life"

 

The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol found in cultures around the world—representing creation, connection, ancestry, and the cycles of life. In Mexico, Árboles de la Vida are brightly colored clay sculptures that originated in central Mexico and are traditionally used to tell stories about spirituality, family, nature, and cultural identity. Over time, these trees have evolved to include a wide variety of themes.

​

We welcome individual entries as well as class projects. Students may submit two-dimensional or three-dimensional artwork in any style—realistic, abstract, symbolic, or narrative—and are encouraged to explore themes such as family, heritage, storytelling, animals, sea life, nature, and community.
