Conflict Resolution Bookmark Art Contest

About This Contest

Each year, Montgomery County students in grades K-8 have the opportunity to create bookmarks that promote anti-bullying messages and community peacebuilding. Bookmark art must reflect peaceful conflict resolution or prevention themes, such as peer mediation, talking things out, apologizing, respecting differences, solving problems together, listening, tolerance, peacebuilding, or alternatives to violence.

Winning designs are eligible for cash prizes! Plus, the judges select some of the prize winning bookmarks to be printed and distributed to the public.

For more information on the Conflict Resolution Bookmark Art Contest, please contact DRC-MC at 936-760-6914 or at mediate@mctx.org.
