For schools & teachers

Teachers and coordinators can submit on behalf of their entire class or school. Email contact@artforawareness.art with your school name and student count. Schools that consistently participate earn a school-level recognition certificate. The competition works as a great co-curricular activity — art teachers often use it as a classroom assignment tied to the monthly theme.
