Art has the power to inspire, uplift, and soothe. It also has the power to call attention to remarkable individuals working to make the world a better place. The MY HERO Project's Visualize Heroism Art Contest offers a great opportunity for students of all ages to showcase their artistic talents while celebrating the heroes in their lives.

Artists choose the medium — drawing, painting, photography, or digital art — and creatively express their appreciation for the local or global heroes who have touched their lives. Learn more.
