Entries for the City’s Annual “Martin Luther King, Jr. Essay Contest” and the “Black History Month: Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion” Art Contest are now being accepted.

Both contests are open to students who live in Richardson or attend school within the city.

Throughout the contest we will be showcasing past winners. This week, meet 2025 Essay Winner Lucy Mann, who wrote about The Importance of Being Inclusive.

We invite you to visit www.cor.net/ArtandEssayContest for more information on contest rules and deadlines, and to view the work of previous winners.
