The Buenaventura Art Association is making Macaroni the theme of its Fifth Annual Holiday Ornament Design Competition. Non-cash prizes of assorted gift baskets and certificates will be awarded in youth and adult categories. To qualify for the youth category entrants must be 14 years or younger.
Ventura's Education Partnership will also be putting collection boxes in some of Ventura’s elementary and middle schools for ornament submissions as well, but the competition is open to youth and adults throughout all Ventura County cities.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MACARONI
The main rule for the competition is that ornaments must include dry pasta as the primary material. Creative interpretation and craftiness take off from there with paint, glitter or other additional materials at the artist’s discretion.
Ornaments must be “hangable” and include some kind of string or hook with which to hang it. All ornaments entered in competition will be offered for sale and the artist must agree to donate their entry for this purpose. All proceeds will go to the Ventura Education Partnership’s Arts Collaborative. The Collaborative raises funds for projects and events both during and after school which keep Ventura’s youth engaged in the visual and performing arts.
