Although YAM is in March, deadlines start in January! Every year the WVAEA hosts a Youth Art Month contest in Parkersburg. Each county may send nine pieces for the contest that will be displayed and then moved to Arts Alive later that spring. In addition to the YAM contest, WVAEA also holds a flag contest for students.
