We were thrilled to see the hundreds of poems submitted for the 2021 KidsPost Poetry Contest. As we prepare to announce the winners on April 28, we want to share details about other contests you may want to enter. Whether you paint, write or make films, take a look at the following opportunities to be honored for your work.

The White House Historical Association is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a student art contest. Submissions should depict the White House, its history and/or its collection. The artwork must be two-dimensional (no sculpture or dioramas, for example). Judges will consider creativity and originality, presentation, interpretation of the contest theme and historical relevance.

Judges will look for creativity, originality, clarity, story structure and illustrations.
