28 Feb 2022 Daffodil Daze Art Contest 2022

501 LIFE is partnering with First Security Bank and Conway Regional Health System to present the 2022 Daffodil Daze Art Contest.

“Once again, our magazine is excited to celebrate the artistic talents of Faulkner County students,” said 501 LIFE Publisher Jeremy Higginbotham.  “Their work will inspire many throughout the 501 as we celebrate this beautiful time of year.”

In 2021, the contest returned after missing a year due to COVID-19.   501 Brand Ambassador and Dazzle Daze Art Contest Chairman Paulette Higginbotham is making plans for this year to be bigger than ever.  “There is not a more welcoming sign of spring than beautiful daffodil flowers.  We are excited for this annual art contest showcasing this delicate and hardy flower by Faulkner County students,” said Paulette. “Daffodil flowers are located throughout Faulkner County parks and along our trails. Both lend beauty and creativity to the world of Conway. I’m so excited to be part of this opportunity for students to display their talents in this unique contest. I hope to work with art teachers and classes that can join our contest this year!”
