In celebration of Law Day 2025—commemorated annually in May to highlight our nation’s rule of law—the courts’ Office for Justice Initiatives’Division of Access to Justice and the Historical Society of the New York Courts invite high school students statewide to participate in an art contest inspired by the American Bar Association’s 2025 Law Day theme, “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One.”****
Submissions should be original pieces of art that depict what the Law Day 2025 theme means to the artist. All submissions must be received by February 25, 2025. The winners will be announced on May 1, 2025. This year, the contest will consist of two rounds. In the first round, entries will be judged against others within the same judicial district. The first-place winners in each judicial district will then advance to the second round to compete statewide. First, second, and third-place statewide prize winners will be selected from the second round and awarded cash prizes, courtesy of the Historical Society of the New York Courts, and have their artwork featured on the court system’s website.
