“Lift Every Voice: Be Courageous, Seek Justice, Show Love.”
We are inviting writers and artists from grades 2-12 to explore what it means to act with integrity, even when it is difficult.
Consider: celebrating voices that inspire change, showing courage in action, illustrating justice as fairness, equity or freedom, highlighting love as a force for unity and healing.
Prizes for all levels!
