The West Coast Baptist Fine Arts Competition was started in 1995 to help students discover their gifts and develop their talent for the Lord. Our goal is to glorify Christ by providing an opportunity for students to compete in various areas. This competition also provides students a time to fellowship with other students in a Christ-honoring environment. The West Coast Baptist Fine Arts Competition has the potential to help your students develop a closer relationship with God and foster school spirit. Join the growing number of schools who are discovering this great tool to use in assisting students to reach their potential.
