In January, the Buncee team connected with Shannon Miller about a really interesting project idea she had in mind: a Student Artist Contest! It all started with one of Shannon’s fifth-grade students, Molly. Molly had a passion for drawing, and when her crayons hit the paper she was always creating “Molly Dolls”.
Once we heard about these dolls from Shannon and saw how cool they were, we knew we had to turn her drawings into Buncee stickers. So we did just that. The work Shannon was doing with Molly inspired us to empower even more students to be artists within Buncee.
At Buncee, our main focus is student voice and choice. This is how the Buncee Student Artist Contest, a new project in collaboration with Shannon got started! We look forward to seeing creations from all over the world and see a student’s voice come to life.
For more information on how this contest all began and Shannon Miller’s vision, visit her blog.
Here’s How the Buncee Student Artist Contest Works
Students from around the world can design their own stickers, backgrounds, and animations, and submit them to our creative committee. Featured artists will be selected every month, and their artwork will be uploaded to Buncee in our new “Student Art” category.
