Each year, we proudly showcase the artistic talents of students at the OMLA Conference in November. By completing this form, you will be asked to upload a photo of the student’s artwork. Submitted pieces will be professionally printed and displayed on art panels throughout the conference venue, allowing all attendees to enjoy and appreciate the work for the duration of the event. As part of the display, conference attendees will have the opportunity to write positive messages to the student artists. If you are attending the conference, you may collect the printed photo along with the messages to take back to the student. If you are unable to attend, we will gladly mail it to you following the event. docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSem…
