We are excited to bring awareness to the talent of our vibrant local artist community, as well as to showcase art that visually celebrates the diversity and energy of the Tampa Bay community. Hockey is For Everyone is an important component of our brand and community outreach, and we encourage you to be creative and depict anything and everything that inspires you in the below categories...and if you are able to weave in your love for the great game of hockey, even better!
