“Each year we’ve pushed to make the Kids’ Day event bigger and better than the year before,” said Violet Richards, Kids’ Day Chair. “We are constantly seeking innovative ways to engage with the community, and this year’s art contest presents the perfect opportunity for families to showcase and celebrate their children’s creativity and leave a lasting impression on the Reno Rodeo.”
Interested artists up to the age of 13 can submit their best artwork featuring our region’s iconic Sierra Nevada mountains.
