Thank a Teacher

Show us your best work!

Now is the time to create artwork that expresses appreciation for educators across the Commonwealth! The submission period for the 2027 Thank a Teacher Art Contest is officially open.

Three K-12 public school winners will be selected, one each for the elementary, middle and high school levels. The winning pieces of artwork will be printed on thank-you notes sent to educators beginning in April 2027 and through National Teacher Appreciation Week that May. Students whose artwork is selected as the winners will receive a $200 gift card, and their schools will each win $2,000 in art supplies from The Supply Room.

Entries must be student’s original artwork. For additional eligibility requirements, design criteria, prize structure and submission guidelines, click here.

Deadline to submit your artwork: November 23, 2026.
