Educator Of The Year Form

The Arts Council is excited to celebrate our Arts Educators in Region 8 by partnering with local sponsors to add Region 8 Arts Educator of the Year as a part of our annual Arts Awards celebration. The purpose of this annual award is to promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for Arts Education as well as to honor those individuals who are making a real difference in our community through their dedication to Arts Education.

Nominees must be Arts Educators in a public, private or parochial school classroom setting in Grades K-12, in one of the parishes served by the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council. Those parishes are: Lincoln, Caldwell, East Carroll, Franklin, Jackson, Madison, Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, Tensas, Union, and West Carroll. Educators must lead an art program in one of the following disciplines as per the National Standards for Arts Education: dance, music, theatre and the visual arts. The honored Educator will be selected from a field of finalists by a panel of qualified judges from outside Region 8. All finalists will be recognized during the Arts Awards banquet. 

The winner of the award will receive $500 to be used in their specific art program at their school.
