Indiana’s electric cooperatives and their statewide magazine, Indiana Connection, invite Indiana K-12 students to enter the Cooperative Calendar of Student Art Contest.
A first-place artist will be selected for each grade, K-12, and will receive $200. The artwork of each grade level winner will illustrate either the cover or one of the 12 months of the calendar. Additional artists will earn honorable mention awards and will receive $75. These works will appear in the calendar.
Artwork will be judged on artistic merit, originality, creativity and its suitability for a wall calendar. Indiana public, private or home-schooled students in kindergarten through 12th grade during the 2024-25 school year are eligible.
The 2026 wall calendar will be available at the offices of participating Indiana electric cooperatives in the fall of 2025.
A complete set of rules, instructions, required entry forms and additional contest information are available by visiting indianaconnection.org/for-youth/art-contest. The entry deadline is March 28, 2025.
