MISSiON: TO INSPIRE participation in and appreciation of the arts in Westerville since 2003
20th Annual 2026 Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest
To recognize and encourage the talents of literary artists, the Arts Council of Westerville and Westerville Public Library invited writers of all ages to be part of the Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest. The contest, in addition to calling upon writers to share their works with us, was conceived as a dimension to the month-long celebration of the arts in Westerville during April. This is the 20th year for the contest.
These awards honor unique artists and leaders within the Westerville arts community who have made an impact in 2025. ACW will present awards for the year’s outstanding adult performance; the outstanding youth performance; an emerging artist; and an arts instructor/director who is an inspiration. Place your nominations today!
There are many meaningful ways to get involved with our organization—and each one helps strengthen the creative spirit of our community. Whether you're looking to volunteer your time, lend your talents, or take on a leadership role, we welcome you to join us in supporting the arts.
