The Goulbourn Museum held an art contest to find talented young people to create a ‘Head-in-Hole’ painting for their site. The contest was open to students in Grades 9-12 who lived in or attended high school in the former Goulbourn Township (Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Ashton). The theme of the artwork was Soldiers of the War of 1812.
Every student who entered and met the basic submission requirements for the initial sketch received 10 volunteer hours. Artwork had to be original and could be the work of one student or of teams to a maximum of five students. The artist selected to transform their sketch into the final “Head-in-Hole” painting received an additional 30 volunteer hours plus a letter of reference, recognition in the Museum’s publications and the local newspaper, and an award of $100. The winner was also a VIP at the official unveiling of the painting at the Museum’s War of 1812 Tribute on June 16, 2013.
