• OHS Summer 2023 Coloring Book Contest

    This contest is intended to inspire interest and creativity amongst Oviedo's residents to connect with our City's rich and beautiful history!

  • Due to the ongoing roadway construction, we have unfortunately had to close our doors for the summer months, but we still wanted a way to keep Oviedo engaged with our rich local history! Thankfully, there are so many wonderful places around Oviedo and the surrounding area that hold just as much of our community identity as The Lawton House. Since we know many Oviedo residents are looking for some fun ways to stay busy this summer, we decided to host this contest to help spark some creativity amongst our artistic neighbors. We sincerely hope that you will participate in this summer’s contest and that you will find an artistic path to connect with history!

     

    Individuals who choose to participate will be submitting a piece of artwork depicting the Oviedo Historical Society’s two characters, Sweet and Sour, at Oviedo’s landmarks using the line art style. The Oviedo Historical Society will select ten submissions to be compiled into a historic Oviedo coloring book. Our intention is to create a coloring book featuring Oviedo’s well known and historic sites to engage Oviedo’s youth in taking part in remembering and making history!
