To celebrate how the emotions of art can tell a story and inspire, the second annual American Cancer Society Artist of the Year Contest launches on March 15. This contest, created as a unique annual stewardship opportunity, calls for artists from all disciplines to create a custom piece of art and a personal statement showcasing how cancer has impacted them. Artists should submit their work by May 15 to be considered for the 2026 American Cancer Society Artist of the Year.

To help socialize and encourage submissions, team members can use this promotional toolkit to support outreach to partners, volunteers, and donors. In this toolkit, you will find an email template, two graphics, and social copy for X and Facebook. (You cannot post contests on LinkedIn.

Help us create a memorable moment for a talented artist. Their work will be mass distributed to our donor base as a collector item in various forms to be used for the continued stewardship of supporters across the organization.
