FIRST AMENDMENT CARTOON CONTEST

Since the earliest days of the American republic, cartoonists have entertained us, provided significant and persuasive social commentaries, and contributed to our civic life.

In that spirit, celebrate Bill of Rights Day with the First Amendment Cartoon Contest! Celebrate First Amendment freedoms with your own cartoon on:

Freedom of Speech! | Freedom of the Press! | Freedom of Religion!
Freedom of Assembly! | Freedom to Petition the Government! | Freedom of Association!

If you are creative and like to draw, this is your chance to illustrate principles of freedom and perhaps win a prize! Deadline for submissions is March 30, 2010.

The contest is open to all students nationwide—high school, middle school, and elementary school.

Winners will each receive a $50* gift certificate and will be chosen in each of six categories, one winner per category. In addition, up to five entries will receive honorable mentions.

The six categories are:

High School—Single Panel Cartoon| Comic Strip
