Each year, the Yocum Institute for Arts Education welcomes aspiring young artists from Berks County to submit their work for a juried exhibit to be held at the Yocum Institute. This provides students with an opportunity to present their original works of art to the public in a professional gallery setting as well as compete for cash prizes and tuition to Yocum Institute classes.

The competition is open to all full-time junior and senior high school students that reside in or attend school in Berks County. The original work presented features oil, watercolor, ceramics, mixed media, acrylic paint, sculpture and 3D art.
