LICA Calendar Contest

Artwork in Action

Calendar Contest

Duration: May – September

Every year, LICA hosts an art contest for students in grades K-12. Students are invited to draw a picture inspired by a theme and submit their artwork for a chance to be featured in LICA’s calendar the following year. In the fall, LICA’s Board of Directors and Education & Outreach Committee Members select 13 winning entries by majority vote to be showcased in the calendar. Each winning artist also receives a cash prize!

2026 Calendar Contest Details

The 2026 Calendar theme is “The Past, Present, and Future of Environmental Stewardship: 25 Years of Lakeland Industry and Community Association”.  For this year’s contest, we would like you to create artwork depicting what Environmental Stewardship looks like to you!
