2008 State Flag Celebrating the Arts!

Design a state flag in celebration of the arts---music, drama, fine art, and dance. The selected design will be professionally constructed and forwarded to the Youth Art Month Gala Event in Washington D.C., March 2006, along with other state YAM flags. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) will also use the design to promote the Annual High School Art Show in the spring of 2008.
 

                                           

2007 YAM Flag was created by the AP students of Faye Scannell in the Bellevue School District
