2026 STUDENT AWARDS SHOW
Conroe Art League will award more than $13,000 at the Student Awards Show scheduled for Sunday, May 3rd, at 2:00 PM.
In addition to the open show, there will be a $500 award for the Adrianne Gerlach Memorial Art Scholarship for Best Western/Wildlife and an award in the amount of $300 for the Sherry Wagner Memorial Award for the theme Forever Cats. New in 2026 are additional awards for Best Landscape $1,000, Best Portrait $1,000, and Best Animal $1,000.
A student does not have to be present to win. (But it would be nice!)
A student may win only one Student Award, but a student winning a Student Award may also win either the Adrianne Gerlach Memorial Scholarship or the Sherry Wagner Memorial Award. Conversely a student who wins either the Adrianne Gerlach or Sherry Wagner award is also eligible to win a Student Award. For example, the art winning the Adrianne Gerlach Award ($500) could also be awarded 1st place and $3,000.00 in the Student Awards.
The eligibility of a student is defined as a high school senior (the student does not have to be formally enrolled in an art class), who is attending a Montgomery County public, private or home school.
Take-in of the art will be at the Madeley Gallery at 127 Simonton Street in Conroe, on Friday, May 1st, from 2p.m. to 6p.m. Artwork must be delivered with a completed registration. Please register online and print the confirmation to bring with your artwork.
Online registration enables us to prepare the paperwork in advance to give you an easy take-in experience. However, if you need to print and fill out the form manually to bring with your artwork, you may download the form below.
