Contests
Helps us bring back the historic roots of this festival by participating in and/or or supporting one of our contests!
Art Contest
Join us in our 2024 Katy Rice Harvest Festival where we invite all art students to participate in the 2024 Katy Rice Harvest Festival Arts Contest.
Paying tribute to our heritage, each entry must have a Historic Katy theme – use rice or show off our rice dryers, highlight life in Katy back in the 1900’s, re-create an old building or item from our museums, etc.
We encourage creativity and originality! We ask Teachers to help facilitate
this competition, perhaps by having all your students create something and then you choosing your top 1-2 entries for each Category per Contestant Class to be a part of the Katy Rice Harvest Festival Art Contest. We would love to have every school in Katy represented in this year’s festival!
