Annual Art Contest

The Arizona Treatment Court Conference includes the Annual Art Contest open to CURRENT treatment court participants only. Conference attendees will vote for their favorite entry at the conference and the top five winners will receive gift cards (Conference Favorite = $150, 1st place = $125, 2nd place = $100, 3rd place = $75, Honorable Mention = $50).

The guidelines for the contest:

1. Each treatment court in your county can enter up to 5 art pieces (entries can be paintings, drawings, sculptures, poems). Any audio/visual entries (songs, videos) need to be discussed with the Art Contest Coordinator to sort out how the art will be displayed.
2. Each treatment court is responsible for vetting the art entries prior to submission and obtaining the artists’ permission to bring the art to the conference and display, photograph their art and first name. Once submitted to the AADCP Art Contest link, an email from the Art Contest Coordinator will confirm if the art piece is accepted.
3. Each entry is to align with the conference theme or with the theme of Recovery. You can access the conference theme via the AADCP website.
4. Each program will identify a staff member to physically deliver the art entries to the conference for display (we will have a designated area) and be responsible for taking the art entries back to their county after the conference ends. All pre-accepted entries must be delivered to the conference BEFORE 8 am on the first day of the conference.
5. The deadline for submissions is end of the day, March 28, 2025. Submissions after that date will not be accepted into this year’s contest.
6. Once you have identified your entries, submit a photo of the entry and a completed Release of Information Form for each art entry. A confirmation email that the art was received by the Art Contest Coordinator and is approved for the contest will be sent within a week of the submission.
