Columbia Legal Services is excited to announce the Imagine Justice Art Contest. We invite all individuals who are currently incarcerated in Washington State to enter an original, 2-dimensional creation that reflects the theme My Community. My Home. – Highlighting the importance of safety, community, and belonging.
Entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges from the community and the winner will be awarded $500.
The contest is open to any individuals who are currently incarcerated in Washington State. However, award checks are sent via U.S. postal mail so we must be provided a contact name to whom we will be writing out the check to and a mailing address within the Unites States to receive payment.
If you’re having trouble accessing a camera to photograph your artwork, we suggest sending it to a family member or friend who can submit it on your behalf.
- Each individual may enter up to three original pieces.
- Art can be in any 2-D medium, such as pen, paint, pencil, embroidery, digital tools, etc.
- We are only accepting digital submissions, such as cell phone images or scanned files.
- Deadline for entry is Sunday June 15, 2025.
- Submission form must be filled out accurately and with contact information.
- Artwork may be featured in Columbia Legal Services materials, exhibits or other communications.
- With your submission, your art may be chosen for our 2026 Imagine Justice Art Calendar with a prize of $100.
- Any use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be disclosed in the artist statement. The use of AI does not disqualify the submission but will be taken into consideration when assessing the artwork’s originality and creativity.
