The Voices of Democracy Law Day theme encourages Americans to participate in the 2024 elections by deepening their understanding of the electoral process; discussing issues in honest and civil ways; turning out to vote; and, finally, helping to move the country forward after free and fair elections. We encourage you to draw your views on voting, the electoral process, and elections and perhaps weave that story into your art. This idea is not required! It is just a suggestion for inspiration.

Awards (certificates & trophies!) will be given for each grade level from kindergarten through high school. The winners from each grade will then be organized into four age groups (K-2nd, 3rd-5th, middle school, and high school) to determine a grand winner from each group. Grand winners will receive a gift card, and we’ll work to arrange for a judicial visit to your class!

High School: $100

Middle School: $50

3rd-5th: $50

K-2nd: $50

In addition to awards, we’ll celebrate Law Day and the talented artists in our state online and in the May issue of the Georgia Courts Journal.

Submissions for the contest must be received by April 1 at midnight.

What kind of artwork you may be asking? We’re leaving this contest open to most mediums. We’ll accept paintings, drawings, poetry, videos, graphic design, and other mixed media projects.

For the younger students, we realize original artwork based on this year’s Law Day theme of “Voices of Democracy”, may be too much to ask, so we have created a coloring page inspired by the theme:
