At the beginning of the pandemic last year, Kara Vecchi came across the VFW Auxiliary “Illustrating America” contest and decided to enter.
“I enjoyed researching individuals who, to me, represented America,” the 13-year-old Gates Middle School student said. “My entry included research on George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Helen Keller, and Susan B. Anthony. I saw that the VFW was sponsoring the Illustrating America contest again this year, and I knew I wanted to submit an entry.”
When she sees the American Flag, Kara thinks of the Star Spangled Banner, she said.
“I included the flag in last year s entry and wanted to include it in this year s entry, which I did standing proudly in front of the White House. When I picture the White House and Washington D.C, I think of the heart of our country and the home of our president. To me, my entry illustrates America.”
MARION â Three contests sponsored by the Marion Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6015 Auxiliary are hoping to get local students to show their patriotism and artistic sides.
The first competition, the VFW Auxiliaryâs Young American Creative Patriotic Art Contest, annually has more than 4,000 high school students from across the country enter. It starts with interested ninth- through 12th-grade students entering at Marion VFW post. It moves to the state level and finally to the national level.
The first-place winner from each state advances to national judging and competes for national awards totaling $31,500. The contest is open to all high school students in public, private, parochial or home school programs in the United States. The deadline to have an entry to the local post is March 31.
