The Civic Expression Award

From the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers in partnership with the Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, in partnership with the Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools, presents a new award for students whose original art or writing demonstrates civic knowledge and skills: the Civic Expression Award.

Throughout history, artists and writers have played a vital role in shaping a more just society by seeking to solve problems on behalf of the public good. The Civic Expression Award, sponsored by the Maurice R. Robinson Fund, recognizes students whose art and writing expresses a vision of the society they are working to build, one that exemplifies democratic values and that allows all voices and viewpoints to be heard and respected. Recipients will be artists o r writers whose work highlights and demonstrates awareness of American civic rights and responsibilities. Six students whose work best promotes responsible civic life will each be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
