About the U.S. Kids Cover Contest

At U.S. Kids, we know that your art teacher nurtures and encourages your creativity. Studies have shown that kids who participate in art acquire skills that help them in decision making, problem solving, creative thinking, and teamwork. An increasing number of studies also find that arts programs motivate children to learn, assisting in improving performance in core academic subjects.

But art programs in schools across the country are losing funding. U.S. Kids supports art in schools and wants to help art teachers. Each first-, second-, and third-place winner of our art contest will win up to $1,500 for his or her school's art program.

Art Contest Mission Statement

We aim to encourage creativity and art in children of all ages through a variety of subjects and mediums, such as oils, pastels, markers, and colored pencils, while expressing their own individuality. We also aim to support art programs and teachers in schools throughout the country.
