Art can serve as a powerful tool for emotional healing and recovery. 🎨 🧘♀️ 💟
Now in its fourth year, the Art Competition invites Illinois residents ages 14+ to submit artwork that sheds light on the Journey from darkness to hope for those struggling with a gambling addiction.
Entries will be split into two categories:

Artwork will be judged by a professional jury. Awards for the selected artists will include stipends of $2,000, $1,000, and $500 in each category. Up to five high school students will also be awarded $100 Visa gift cards.
Entry is free, and the deadline to submit is March 31st, 2026.
