ENTER THE 'BOLD BLACK WOMAN' DRAWING CONTEST! 

We love our stories and storytellers - especially our young

ones! We're calling on all budding female artists (ages 7-12)      to draw their favorite Black woman in history (in America or abroad) and tell us exactly why they admire them. For parents 

or guardians, this is the perfect opportunity to discuss (and discover!) the many amazing black women who've played major roles in history and have made significant contributions    to the arts, science, education, politics, and civil society. 

​

The contest is open worldwide; one form per entry and one 

entry per child. Entries must be submitted using the form below and must be received by 11:59PM EST Friday, January 19, 2018.  Winners will be notified by email on Sunday, January 28, 2018. We will announce the winners on our social media pages. 

​

So get to drawing! We're excited to see and hear about the influential women you admire!
