The AAEA State Flag contest is an opportunity to showcase your students’ artwork! Have your students create 2D or 3D artwork with the theme “The World Needs  Art” to enter into the 2025-26 school year contest. Artwork should also include elements that help identify that the flag represents the state of Arizona.

You may bring up to 2 submissions per grade band, per teacher to the conference. Grade bands are: K-2nd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th, and 9th-12th.

All art must have two copies of the signed Student Entry Form, attached to the back of the artwork. Artwork without the executed form will not be considered. Please also fill out the Teacher Registration Form online before bringing artwork to the conference.

Important details:

The AAEA state flag design contest is open to all AAEA members. Bring the artwork to the conference or send it with a friend, where it will be displayed and voted on.

Submissions are due by Friday at 11:30am at the conference. Voting will be at lunch on Friday, and winners will be announced at dinner.

The winning entry will be turned into a flag and hung at the National Conference in the Spring of 2026! See the CFAE Website for more details.
