Guidelines & Rules for Chalk Artists
1) Your team must be registered to chalk . Use a chalkboard space approximately 4 ft. by 4 ft.
2) Illustrate one of the poems. Teams can be comprised of one to four students. Every student on a team should be from the same school or art program. Teachers/leaders can coach during the competition, but cannot participate in the chalking. No words may appear within the art. ChalkHeART reserves the right to refuse objectionable material. Whether an illustration includes objectionable material will be determined at the discretion of the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence.
3) You may use your own chalk but it must be water-based. No paint, crayon, ink or other non-washable or permanent products. No fixatives may be used on the chalk drawings. If you are not sure what you can bring, call and ask. If you need help with chalk and other supplies, please let us know!
4) Judging - Each team will be evaluated by Idaho-based artists and scored based on the following criteria: originality, representation of poem, and overall presentation. Bonus points will be given to teams depicting award-receiving poems or a poem from your school and extra bonus points will be given to teams who depict the We Choose All Of US poem. In the event of a tie the judges will reevaluate the tied ChalkHeART art according to the criteria until the tie is broken.
5) By submitting your teams’ entry, the team leader/teacher certifies that the team is submitting its own, non-copyrighted work. The team leader/teacher nor team members/artists are not entitled to payment for your submission, unless awarded a prize in accordance with the rules for judging.
