Art Contest: The Art of Recovery

This year as part of National Drug Court Month, NADCP is hosting an art contest for treatment court participants and alumni! Art is a powerful tool for conveying the emotions and ideas related to recovery that may be difficult to verbalize. The Art of Recovery submissions will be displayed
in a special gallery at RISE22 in Nashville, Tennessee, as well as online at AllRise.org.

Categories & Rules

The Art of Recovery contest is open to participants and alumni from treatment courts of all types. NADCP will accept art in three categories: drawing/painting, poetry, and photography. Juvenile and adult entries will be judged separately. The submission deadline is May 31, 2022.

• 1st prize: $150
• 2nd prize: $100
• 3rd prize: $50

How to submit your artwork

Digital art may be submitted using the online submission form. Physical art should be mailed to NADCP's main office, must include a hard copy submission form, and must arrive by May 31, 2022. Mail to: 625 North Washington Street, Suite 212, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.
