Sponsored by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women, the Florida Women’s History art contest is open to both boys and girls and serves to celebrate women’s history and increase awareness of the contributions made by Florida women, past and present. Celebrating women’s history presents the opportunity to honor and recount stories of our ancestors’ talents, sacrifices, and commitments, and inspires today’s generations. Learning about our past allows us to build our future.

Innovation is about coming up with new ideas, methods, or solutions that improve something or solve a problem in a creative way. Innovation might involve thinking outside the box to approach a project differently, explore a unique angle, or find a new way of presenting findings. It’s not just about inventing something entirely new—sometimes it’s simply about improving or rethinking an existing idea to make it more effective or interesting. Encourage the artist to be curious, ask questions, and explore different possibilities that will help them bring innovative thinking to their project.
