2024 Student Design Contest
A CALL FOR STUDENT DESIGNS!
National Black Lives Matter at School is seeking student designs for our annual Week of Action. The design will be used around the country to support organizing around our four core demands and 13 guiding principles.
During the school year, BLM at School has an annual Week of Action in different cities. Thousands of educators around the world wear their Black Lives Matter shirts to school and teach lessons on our demands and guiding principles, structural racism, intersectionality, Black history, and anti-racist movements.
The winner of this contest will have their design featured as the 2024 BLM at School logo on programming graphics and apparel such as T-shirts, and be recognized in a newsletter publication, on social media, and will receive a t-shirt with their design on it, as well as a cash prize.

Important Dates
The National Black Lives Matter at School Steering Committee will select three designs to go up for public vote. The winner will be announced when we launch a sale of T-shirts with the design for our 2024 February Week of Action.
