The Shoreview Human Rights Commission sponsored its 16th Annual Art Poster Contest “One Community of Many Colors” for fourth grade students in Shoreview. The Art Contest commemorates Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Commission requested fourth grade teachers in Shoreview to dedicate a class period or two in December or early January to teach their students about diversity and to give their students time to create art posters. Students were asked to create posters that included people of different races and cultures interacting positively together, e.g., cooperating, sharing, playing, helping, working, or solving problems together.

The posters were judged by the Shoreview Human Rights Commission on their expression of the theme, the clarity of the message, the quality of the art, its attractiveness, usage of the whole sheet of paper and the correct spelling of any text. Place winners and honorable mention winners received prizes and winning posters will be on display at the Shoreview Community Center through March. The Shoreview City Council are recognizing the winning students at their meeting on Monday, March 1.
The following businesses donated prizes for the contest: Dominos, Vision Ease, Metro Dance Center, Fresh and Natural, Country Inns and Suites, Frattalone Ace Hardware, Arden Pharmacy and Gifts, National Karate, Lee’s Tae Kwon Do, RAZ’s, Wok Cuisine and C&E Hardware.
