Asian Impact Society is seeking adjudicators to join our Exhibition Committee to review and adjudicate submissions for our upcoming art exhibit and contest.
The exhibition theme is multiculturalism, diversity and anti-racism. Artwork submitted should address at least one of these themes. Through this exhibition, our goal is to educate the viewing public on why multiculturalism and diversity is important and why there is no place for racism in our communities.

The exhibition and contest is open to all ages and a variety of mediums including 2D and 3D artwork. Awards will be granted for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each age categories as follows:
-
Age 12 and under
