iCanstruction Competition
2026 iCanstruction Theme
Freedom's Canvas
All teams are encouraged to design and build a canned-goods structure that reflects this year’s theme. Creations may showcase any element that represents the United States, such as national symbols, landmarks, icons, or patriotic imagery (for example, eagles, the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty, or B-52 aircraft).
Trashion Show
Students are invited to design and model original outfits created primarily from recyclable and repurposed materials. This creative competition challenges participants to think sustainably, showcase their artistic talent, and prove that fashion can be both bold and environmentally friendly.
The Trashion Show and Competition will be held on March 28, 2026 (time TBD).
Shortfilm Contest
The i3 Short Film Contest welcomes elementary, middle, and high school students across Bossier Parish to express their creativity through Live Action, Animation, or Documentary filmmaking. Entries must be original student work from the current school year and adhere to all i3 film guidelines, including time limits (7 minutes for Live Action/Documentary and 4 minutes for Animation), appropriate content, and the use of royalty-free music. Films will be judged based on performance, production quality, and originality, with top awards given out during the i3 Art Expo. Student filmmakers must register their intent to enter and submit their final films by the specified deadlines. Lights, camera, create—your story is ready for the i3 screen!
Healing through Illustrations Contest
Healing through Illustrations Contest
The Healing Through Illustrations Contest invites middle and high school students to combine science and art in a unique, creative challenge. Students select a biological structure—such as a cell, membrane, organelle, tissue, or body system—and transform it into an imaginative artwork that represents both its appearance and its function.
Entries may be created using traditional art media, digital illustration, or even sculpture. Each submission must include the artwork’s title, the scientific name of the chosen structure, and a short artist statement explaining the scientific connection and creative interpretation.
