Students in the Comal area have the opportunity to create a prize-winning poster with the theme Be My Voice – VOTE!  

The contest sponsored by the LWVCA is open to students in Comal or Guadalupe Counties in the following three age groups:  kindergarten through second grades, third through fifth grades, and sixth through eighth grades.  A cash award of $100 will go to the overall winner, and an award of $50 will go to the winner from each of the three age groups. Winning art may be used by the LWVCA in nonpartisan get-out-the-vote activities. The contest theme was chosen to remind students that adult votes shape students’ futures, and it provides an opportunity for them to learn more about the value of voting and democracy.  

The LWVCA will start accepting submissions on January 3, 2023. The deadline for entries is February 28, and winners will be announced on March 20. Handcrafted originals must be sent to
