It’s time to get creative and colorful outdoors!
The citywide Chalk the Walk contest launches on August 1 with the inspiring theme “OP, the places you’ll go.” Residents are encouraged to create beautiful sidewalk chalk art in front of their homes, around their neighborhoods and near neighborhood schools.
Submit your masterpieces by August 15. Online voting will be open for each category from August 16 to August 22 and winners will be announced August 23.
Participants are welcome to submit multiple entries, but each artwork can only be entered into one of the following award categories:
- Best Use of Theme
- Best Use of a Sidewalk Blemish
- Youth Ages 8 and under
- Youth Ages 9-13
Winners in each category will receive passes to some of Overland Park’s most popular attractions.
