The 9/11 Memorial Art, Poetry, and Logo Contests are designed to keep alive the memory of our country’s first responders and heroes of the attack on New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Most of today’s K-12 students were not alive when the attack occurred. This contest encourages these students to look back at this defining moment in our country’s history and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. We hope to keep these heroes alive in all of our minds so that we may NEVER FORGET.
