The Los Angeles County Office of Education
is proud to announce

4th Annual First Amendment Cartoon Contest
For Students, K-12

Sponsored by the
Judicial Council of California Administrative Office of the Courts
Constitutional Rights Foundation
California State PTA

Since the earliest days of the American republic, cartoonists have entertained us, drawn attention to the issues of the day, and provoked discussion. In short, cartoons contribute to our civic life.

We invite you to add your own contribution to this great tradition and celebrate Bill of Rights Day by entering the Fourth Annual First Amendment Cartoon Contest!

Celebrate First Amendment freedoms with your own cartoon on:

Freedom of Speech
Freedom of the Press
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Assembly
Freedom to Petition the Government
Freedom of Association

The contest is open to all students nationwide—high school, middle school, and elementary school. If you are creative and like to draw, this is your chance to illustrate principles of freedom and perhaps win a prize!

Six winners will each receive a $50* gift certificate. In addition, up to five entries will receive honorable mentions.

Deadline for submissions is March 15, 2013.
