In celebration of its centennial, Student Health Services is sponsoring a contest giving students the chance to decorate a Jayhawk. Participants will design a five-foot tall fiberglass statue of the famous mascot. Similar statues can be found on campus, such as at the Kansas Memorial Union and the Jayhawk Bookstore.
Students can submit their designs for the Jayhawk that fit the contests theme: “KU Student Health Services: Celebrating a Century of Caring.”
The winner will receive $250 and will be in charge of the entire project from design to installation.
Once the statue is installed, the winner will receive an additional $250. The statue will have a permanent plaque at its base that names the artist.
Seth Ramsey, Glenrock, Wyo. junior, thinks the contest is a great idea.
“I definitely would like to see more art students getting the chance to have their work on display on campus,” Ramsey said.
Students can pick up contest forms at Watkins Memorial Health Center, or at http://www.studenthealth.ku.edu. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 14.
