Hey there everyone! Did you know that flag designs for youth art month are due December 2nd (postmarked)?? Do you know about the flag designs?? If not, please allow me to share some information. 

First off, I will direct you to the PAEA webpage that not only has info on the flag design but also YAM in general. (It’s in March BTW.) http://paeablog.org/opportunities-for-students/youth-art-month/

On the webpage you will find a lesson plan for the flag design, a template,  the label, and a planning packet. That should make your life easier, right?! (PS. Click the hyperlinked words to go straight to the document.)

This information is taken directly from the flag design contest information flyer:

“This year there is a nationwide event planned for Youth Art Month – School Flags across the U.S. Flying High. Schools throughout the United States will hold flag design competitions. Each state will select a design which will be made into a 3’ x 5’ flag and flown at the National Art Education Association Convention. Winning designs will be honored at the Youth Art Month Reception in Harrisburg in March and winners will receive prizes! Every art teacher is encouraged to involve your students, from Kindergarten through Grade 12, in designing a YAM flag. You may approach it with your students in any creative way you would like. Please send designs to Suzanne Pagel, Youth Art Month Co-Chair for Pennsylvania. Read all directions and specifications carefully!” http://paeablog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/2016-2017-YAM-Flag-Design-Information.pdf
