Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super Me!

Give your students the power of creativity with this AWESOME DRAWING CONTEST.

They can draw themselves as a superhero, create an 🐶animal, 🤖robot, 👽alien, or 🧑‍🦰human hero, or draw their own personal hero, whether that's a parent, teacher, friend, or an everyday hero like a nurse or firefighter.

They can really let their imaginations fly as they design costumes and think up amazing superpowers. You can even combine art and literacy by encouraging your students to add labels to their pictures.

Pictures we'd love to publish will be printed in a series of full-color books - we know seeing their work in print is a fantastic motivator for students, and they'll love the prizes too! One drawing from each book will be chosen to feature on the front cover and win the artist an awesome stationery set.

Download the entry form now. We can't wait to see how your students use their creative superpowers!
