2022 Competition Semifinalists
Thank you for participating in National Voting
The Art of Social Justice to Transform Communities asks students to reflect and artistically express the work of Social Justice leaders, issues and efforts — locally and nationally — that impact their community. First through 12th grade students included the interrelated principles of social justice, equity, access, participation and rights, as the thematic direction in their art. Each chapter entered the work of their best students. We invite you to review their works, divided into four categories, and vote for the works that best affirm: 
 
Creativity: the artist’s imaginative approach to the theme.
Content: the degree to which the image conveys an idea that is clearly portrayed and consistent with the theme.
Artistic Ability: the degree to which the basic principles of art are reflected in the image and reveal the distinct talent/skill of the artist.
 
Our top three in each category are the semifinalists for each category. Winners will be announced at the National Assembly in June.
