The pursuit of justice is at the heart of every strong and thriving community. It shapes how we treat one another, how we uphold fairness, and how we respond to wrongdoing.
The Office of Cobb District Attorney Sonya F. Allen is proud to present the “What Justice Means to Me” Art Contest—an opportunity for students in kindergarten through 12th grade to explore, express, and reflect on the meaning of justice through creativity.
Justice can be seen in many ways: in fairness, accountability, equality, compassion, and truth. Through this contest, participants are encouraged to share their personal perspectives and experiences, using art as a powerful voice to inspire thought and conversation. Each piece submitted represents not only artistic talent, but also a unique vision of what justice looks like in our world today. Deadline for entries is May 1, 2026.
We believe that art has the power to educate, unite, and spark meaningful dialogue. By engaging in this creative process, you can help strengthen our shared commitment to justice and the values that support it.
Original artwork must be submitted for this contest. Only two-dimensional artwork (drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, printmaking, or original photography) will be accepted.
The selected winning pieces will be recognized for their originality and creativity, with first, second, and third place entries earning the opportunity to be featured within the District Attorney’s Office. All submissions must adhere to guidelines. Questions about guidelines can be emailed to CobbDACommunications@cobbcounty.gov.
