The Georgia Farm Bureau is inviting high school students to participate in their annual art contest. Ten district winners will receive $100 cash each. There will also be two state runner up winners ($150) and a state winner ($250).  The artwork must be on a 8 1/2 x 11-inch white paper and should be either in black ink or pencil.
