Create-a-thon 2026
Friday, February 27 - Sunday, March 1
Location: Rooms 208-209
Registration: $35 entry fee, $10 for prodigy zone
Registration deadline: February 27
Create-a-thon is a juried art festival held annually at Camelback Bible Church. It gives artists an opportunity to create based on a given theme. Last year's theme was Ezekiel 37:1-14: "Can These Bones Live?" Prizes include $1000 Best in Show, $500 Second Place, and $300 Third Place.
CALL FOR ARTISTS!
Artists, age 14 and up, are invited to bring their supplies to campus and create an original work in 48 hours based on thematic material given onsite. All visual media and all levels are welcome. The artwork will be juried, and a $1000 Best in Show cash prize, $500 Second Place, and $300 Third Place will be awarded.
Guests are invited to observe the creation process in Room 209 anytime on Sunday — before, in between, or after services. On Sunday, March 8th, all art will be exhibited in the sanctuary, winners will be announced, prizes will be awarded, and gallery guides will be available.
CHILDREN'S PRODIGY ZONE (ages 7-13)
Saturday, Feb. 28
1 - 4 PM

Entries will be judged and prizes will be awarded!
Once again, we are including a Children's Prodigy Zone. This session will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 28th, for children ages 7 to 13. They can bring their own supplies, but we will also provide some. There is a $10 fee for this option. Those pieces will be judged, and prizes will be awarded.
