Art & Essay Contest Awards

ASYMCA’s annual art and essay contests ask children (grades 1-12) of active duty or retired military personnel to submit artwork that best illustrates their military families, or essays about they are proud of their military families.

First-place winners in the art contest from each branch of service are awarded a $500 U.S. savings bond; second-place winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond. All winning artwork will be featured on a poster for Military Family Month (November). The art contest is sponsored by GEICO.

In the essay contest, first-place winners in grades 1-8 receive a $500 U.S. savings bond; second-place winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond. First-place winners in grades 9-12 receive a $1,000 U.S. savings bond; second-place winners receive a $200 U.S. savings bond; and two $100 U.S. savings bonds will be awarded for essays of honorable mention. The essay contest is sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
