The Kentucky Martin Luther King Jr. State Commission is now accepting entries for the 2026 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay, Visual Arts, and Poetry contests.

According to a release from the Kentucky Heritage Council, the contests are “an exciting opportunity for students to express their creativity and honor Dr. King’s legacy by promoting unity, equality, and justice for all people in Kentucky, the United States, and the world.”

The contest is open to students enrolled in a Kentucky school or home-schooled in Kentucky. Each entry should be inspired by this year’s theme: “Equality for all, hope for tomorrow”. The entry deadline is December 12.

The visual arts contest is open to all K through 12 students. Visual arts entries will be judged based on creativity and originality, and how they address the theme of the contest.

The essay contest is open to students in fourth through 12th grade. The essay must be 500 words or less, and will be judged based on purpose, awareness of audience, idea development, organization, language, and correctness.

The poetry contest is for students in sixth through 12th grade. Entries must be 200 words or less.

Learn more about the contest on the Martin Luther King Jr. State Commission’s website.
