The Lisa Michelle Memorial Fund is proud to announce that we are holding an annual art contest for High School, Middle School, and Elementary School age groups who have lost a parent/guardian, grandparent, and/or sibling to substance abuse.

We hope that this will allow these students to tap into the depths of grief and translate those feelings into creativity. Whether it’s through a painting, sculpture, drawing, or any other art medium, they can use their emotions as fuel to make something meaningful and cathartic.

One winner in each school type will receive a $500 prize. (High School Group $500; Middle School Group $500; Elementary School Group $500)

Submissions will be accepted from June 1, 2025 to August 31, 2025. Winners will be announced September 20, 2025.
