Calendar Art Contest

Annual Calendar Contest 

Fighting Back Partnership is a non-profit organization committed to preventing and ending poverty and its effects in Vallejo and throughout Solano County. For over 20 years, we have hosted a city-wide annual Calendar Art Contest. Youth ages 4-18, enter their artwork with a chance to be featured on our calendar. Generous prizes are also awarded to winners and participants!  

• The theme for our 2021-2022 Calendar is "Clean Air: What does clean air mean to you?". Each year, youth submit original artwork on a standard sheet of paper, using materials such as paint, crayons, oil pastels, pencil, ink, and colored markers. Submissions are judged on the theme relevance, creativity, and clarity.

   Fighting Back Partnership teamed up with the Citizen Air Monitoring Network, Diaz & Loera Centro Latino, The Eric Reyes Foundation, and Vallejo Peace Project for the 2021-2022 Calendar Art Contest. Learn more about our partners!
