Vote for Climate Hope 2024 Art Contest

While children and youth can’t vote in elections, their well-being is integral to how people of faith vote their values on Election Day. The decisions made by our elected officials will have an enormous impact on their lives and their future.

To give our children and youth a voice this election season (while also reminding adults of their responsibility for the next generation when they vote), the UCC will conduct a Vote for Climate Hope Art Contest in 2024. UCC children and youth are invited to draw or paint about the world and the environment they want to live in.

What are their hopes for the world? What is it that they value and want to have protected? What is it that adults should remember and take to heart when they vote this year?

We’ll accept art submissions from March 1 to April 16. An online award ceremony for finalists will be held on May 4, and the winning art will be featured on “Climate Hope Voter Pledge Cards” that church members throughout the UCC will collect during the summer and fall before Election Day.
