The Racial Unity Team is sponsoring its seventh annual Art & Poetry Challenge, inviting K-12 students to submit an original poem or artwork
The 2025 theme is “Building Bridges, Tearing Down Walls.” We encourage students to consider:
-
How can we learn about others’ experiences, identities and perspectives?
-
Despite our differences, how can we find connections with others and appreciate the value that different perspectives bring to our community?
-
What does it mean to build bridges between people?
-
How does it feel to make connections with others?
-
How does it feel when there is a barrier to connecting with others?
-
What does my community need to improve to build bridges across difference?
-
How can we communicate better to tear down walls between us?
-
What can our communities do to have conversations across difference in a respectful way?
Resources are available on the Racial Unity Team website to help teachers and students with this theme: https://racialunityteam.com/art-and-poetry-challenge.
The deadline for submission is August 31, 2025, with submissions accepted starting January 1, 2025. Winners will be announced in October 2025. An Awards Ceremony and Opening Exhibit will be planned for November 2025.
First, second, and third place winners will receive $300, $200, and $100 respectively in elementary (K-2 and 3-5), middle school, and high school categories of both art and poetry.
Submissions will be exhibited in libraries and galleries around the state for at least one year.
This challenge is made possible by our sponsors: Kennebunk Savings, For further information, please call 603-263-6511.
