Let Freedom Ring Art Contest

Clark County Law Foundation’s (CCLF) Let Freedom Ring Art Contest provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about our legal system, justice, get creative and win prizes. The contest can be incorporated into a curriculum, offered as extra credit, or just done for fun.

The Let Freedom Ring Art Contest is open to students attending a public, private, or charter school, or being home schooled, within Clark County, Nevada and in grades K-12 or the equivalent. Only original individual submissions are accepted.

The 2021 Let Freedom Ring Art Contest theme is: “Advancing the Rule of Law, Now.”

There are several definitions of “rule of law,” and its elements. We see common expressions, including “no man is above the law,” or “everyone is equal in the eyes of the law,” or “government of laws, not a government of man.” Generally, the “rule of law” is a principle under which all persons and institutions are accountable to laws that are: widely and publicly shared, equally enforced, and independently adjudicated. These basic ideas emerge from centuries of traditions and law, but also align with contemporary standards in human rights and international law.

Participants are encouraged to use their creativity and originality to make a two-dimensional representation of an art piece (including, but not limited to, drawings, paintings, videos, photographs, graphic novels, comics, etc.), exploring how the advancement of legal principles is essential to human rights today.

All qualified participants under the age of 18 must have their parent or guardian sign the Parental Permission Release Form, and each Let Freedom Ring Art Contest Entry Form must be signed by an adult.

Entry Deadline: October 11, 2021

Recognition and Awards: Participants will be competing for recognition and awards in grades K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Runners-up receive prizes with a value not to exceed $100.00 and winners will receive prizes with a value not to exceed $250.00.

Awards and prize will be presented to the winners and runners-up as part of CCLF’s annual Liberty Bell Award ceremony on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

ABOUT LET FREEDOM RING
About Let Freedom Ring

Since 1983, Clark County Law Foundation's (CCLF) Let Freedom Ring committee has honored individual(s) in the community who have upheld the rule of law, contributed to good government within the community, stimulated a sense of civic responsibility, and encouraged respect for the law in the courts with its prestigious Liberty Bell Award.

Why the Liberty Bell? No icon better personifies the struggles in the birth of our nation. The Liberty Bell tolled on July 4, 1776, for all to come to Philadelphia's Independence Hall to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.

The Liberty Bell exhibit at the Historic Fifth Street School was the first phase of CCLF's long-term Let Freedom Ring project that will display public art exhibits designed to reflect on significant moments in our jurisprudence along Lewis Avenue between the Clark County Regional Justice Center and the Lloyd D. George U.S. District Courthouse.

Expanding on CCLF's mission to empower Nevada, especially our youth, through service to the community and education about the legal system and its history, CCLF invites all Clark County students, K-12 to participate in its annual Let Freedom Ring Art Contest.

CCLF's Let Freedom Ring Art Contest provides a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about our legal system, justice, get creative and win prizes. The contest can be incorporated into a curriculum, offered as extra credit, or just done for fun.
