The Latah  County Human Rights Task Force sponsors an annual Martin Luther King Human Rights Art & Essay Contest with the goal of encouraging creative thought regarding  how Dr. King’s ideals relate to students’ current lives and environments. We select an annual theme and design prompts for the various levels of grades from first through high school. Winners from each grade receive a framed certificate and a $25 gift card from BookPeople which are awarded by Moscow’s Mayor at a special ceremony attended by family and friends at the 1912 Center. The winning entries are posted and displayed at appropriate locations such as the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, public libraries and various schools.

The theme for the 2024-25 Martin Luther King Art & Essay Contest will be The Promise of Democracy, which is taken from an excerpt of Dr. King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream Speech,” in which he said, “Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy.”
