Over fifty years ago, the Utah All-State High School Art Show was established to honor the best high school artists in the state for their talent, originality, and enthusiasm. Kearns High School submits works of art from our students every year. Submission into this show can be done through any arts teacher at Kearns.

As a juried (judged) show, this is one of the most prestigious and honorable opportunities. We encourage all students to apply themselves to submit work to this show.

Various awards (some with cash prizes) are presented to selected students in the exhibition. There is also a great opportunity to sell your artwork in this show.

• Adapted Concept: Artwork developed from other sources using multiple elements or photographs with personal interpretation to create a new perception. We require the use of two or more images for each adapted work. All source material must be identified on the entry and the entry card, and an image or copy of the actual source must be included with the online submission.

• Copy Work: Artwork that is directly copied from one source without original or creative adaptations is not allowed in this exhibition.

2025 Olympics Date: March 5th, 2025

HOST SCHOOL: KEARNS HIGH SCHOOL

This is a competition where each high school in the Granite School District selects art students to compete in various mediums and themes.  Every student will have four hours to complete a work of art, and they will bring 2 to 4 examples of their best artwork to display for the competition. This is a community event where you are encouraged to invite all of your friends, family, and peers to attend. Professional judges from across the state and from various backgrounds will be there to select the winners of the categories but also serve as mentors giving you advice and encouragement along the way.  There is money available for special art supplies if requested, so speak to your art instructor ASAP to get what you would need.  This is not only a great learning experience but a chance to build your resume and help build your skills for future art endeavors. Talk to your teacher if you are interested in this opportunity.
