Frequently Asked Questions

The Art and Essay contest is open to children of currently serving military (active duty, National Guard, or reserves) and retired service members (with 20+ years of service).

Artwork submissions are limited to children in grades 1 through 6.

Essay submissions are open to children in grades 1 through 12.

The ASYMCA uses an online submission process. Eligible participants can click the link to “Submit an Entry.” The entry form is in two parts: the first part collects the child’s information and includes a button to upload their submission; the second part collects information about their military sponsor.

During the submission period, you will find the link to the submission form at the bottom of this webpage.

Since all artwork will be submitted through an online portal, you will need to photograph or scan the art. This means there are no limitations on the size or type of art. Children can use any artistic medium of their choice, or even mix mediums to create unique works. Art can be flat, or dimensional. Your child is limited only by their imagination!

Essays should be no more than 500 words, related to the theme provided, and submitted in either .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .txt formats. Outside of these parameters, children have creative license in how they express themselves using the written word. Poetry, narratives, short stories, or traditional essays are all wonderful ways to tell a story.

For artwork, you can upload a pdf, png, or jpeg file.

For essays, you can upload .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .txt files.

The ASYMCA will collect your information for the purposes of this contest, which will include judging, awards, and digital publication of all submissions.

The ASYMCA will not sell or share your personal contact information to 3rd parties for the purpose of solicitation, but we will share  limited  information for the purposes of shipping prizes and for creating awareness (website, social media, printed collateral, etc). The limited information we share in regard to awareness usually includes the child’s name, age, service branch, and their submitted creative work.

For an example of how submitted info and works are shared, please see the 2023 Winners section above, which includes links to the most recent digital publication.

Art & Essay Contest

Since 2009, the Children in the Fields Campaign has hosted its art and essay contest annually to provide a safe platform to showcase farmworker children’s heartwarming and compelling stories on the national stage, and to empower them as they find the power in their voices.

Every year, CIFC receives thousands of entries for farmworker children around the United States. Their stories are very emotional, and must be seen and heard by everyone, especially lawmakers.  It is our hope that the stories received through the contest, can help us change the narrative, and find the needed change to protect farmworker children in our Country.
