Have you heard of the Young American Creative Patriotic Art Contest?

Beginning in 1979 to recognize up-and-coming artists and encourage patriotism in youth, this contest comprises only two-dimensional entries along with a brief written statement about the art. Students in grades 9-12 by the March 31, 2026 deadline who are enrolled in a public, private or parochial high school or home study program in the United States, its territories and possessions; or dependents of U.S. military or civilian personnel in overseas schools compete to win National awards totaling $37,000. (Although U.S. citizenship is not required, students must be permanent residents or have applied for permanent resident status to become a U.S. citizen.)

We also offer a 3-Dimensional Patriotic Art Contest for students in grades 9-12 and the Illustrating America contest for students in grades K-8.

Learn more about each of these on our website: https://vfwauxiliary.org/scholarships/young-american-creative-patriotic-art-contest

We are so proud of Prestley!

It was my privilege to present Ms. Prestley Skelton, a junior at Jasper High School, with a resolution on behalf of Rep. Kenneth Paschal and myself. The resolution commends her for winning the American Legion State Oratorical Competition.

Prestley will travel to Michigan this Friday to compete in the national competition. We’re proud to have her representing Alabama. She’s an impressive young leader, and we wish her the best of luck this week!
