One of the unique features of the Festival is the Collaborative Art Exhibit, which showcases the work of seasoned and emerging adult artists and local high school student artists competing for the $850 McIlroy Awards given in honor of the late Patricia McIlroy, Destin’s first First Lady, and an MKAF advocate and patron.

The competition is open to the first 25 eligible applicants. The entry fee is $30 per person for up to three pieces of art.
