The Kentucky Education Association (KEA) invites all students in P-12 schools to participate in the annual #DifferenceMakers student art contest. Any student can submit one entry that illustrates an educator who is a difference-maker in their life.
Original artwork should be a portrait of a public-school employee. Photos are permissible and any media can be used to create the artwork. Submitted entries should be no larger than 8.5 X 11 inches. Entries should be clearly marked “#DifferenceMaker” on the outside of the envelope and include a copy of the entry form with each submission.
All submissions must arrive at KEA Headquarters by Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. Submitted entries will not be returned.
The KEA MOVE Committee reviews and chooses the winners. One student in each grade span is selected and the winner receives a $50 prize. In addition, the teacher also will win a $50 prize. The winning entries will be included in KEA publications and posted on KEA’s social media accounts. The #DifferenceMaker subject will receive the students’ original artwork framed.
Students and educators interested in participating can visit the KEA website for more information and an entry form.
