We hope everyone had a wonderful summer and is ready for an exciting new school year!

We are thrilled to announce the 3rd Annual TEEX Art Contest—an opportunity for students to showcase their creativity while learning more about the incredible work of the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX).

Last year, we received more than 150 entries from students across Texas, and we are excited to make this year’s contest even bigger and better! We can’t wait to see the creativity, talent, and imagination students bring to this year’s contest.

Contest Overview

The TEEX Art Contest invites students grades K–12 to submit original artwork inspired by TEEX’s diverse areas of service. Winning artwork will be featured in our annual TEEX calendar, celebrating both the importance of these fields and the creativity of young Texas artists!
