<p class="MsoPlainText">The Western Governors' Association is proud to announce "Celebrate the West," a regional art competition that challenges high school students to create works inspired by their state.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Because Oklahoma is a member of the WGA, high school students in Oklahoma are eligible to enter our competition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Here is a link to our contest:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <span style="color:red"><a href="http://www.westgov.org/news/351-news-2016/1122-enter-now-western-governors-celebrate-the-west-high-school-art-competition">http://www.westgov.org/news/351-news-2016/1122-enter-now-western-governors-celebrate-the-west-high-school-art-competition</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> We work closely with Governor Fallon and her office, and are hoping to reach schools and families in Oklahoma to let them know about our new art competition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Could you help us spread the word about our competition, or forward this request to someone in your office that could help?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Perhaps would you be able to email a link to the competition to the school districts, or high school art teachers or counselors? Alternatively, if you have a school districts email distribution that you could share with me, I could
send out the emails.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, or need additional information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> Thank you very much,<o:p></o:p></p>
