Teen Wins Award For A Coding Program
In 2020, Sreenidi Bala, a teenager from Farmington, Connecticut, started a passion project that would change the lives of hundreds of autistic students.
OAR is thrilled to kick off our fourth annual Youth Art Contest. This year’s theme is growth, encouraging young artists to explore and express their perspectives on personal and community growth.
Participation is open to any autistic child or their siblings, classmates, or friends who are inspired to create. Here’s how to get involved:
In addition to having their artwork featured on OAR’s website, winners will receive exciting prizes, including an Amazon gift card, certificates of recognition, and a spotlight on our social media channels.
Autism is a spectrum, and so is growth. This year’s theme invites participants to explore the various dimensions of growth, not only in the context of autism but also in their personal journeys. We believe that art has the power to inspire, educate, and foster a greater understanding of the world around us.
For more information and to submit your entry, visit the Youth Art Contest webpage.
Happy creating!
