2026 Donate Life Month Student Art Contest Submissions

Winning Entries | 4th – 5th Grade | 6th – 8th Grade | 9th – 10th Grade | 11th – 12th Grade

In celebration of Donate Life Month, Donate Life New York State (NYS), invited elementary, middle, and high school students attending public and private schools to share their donation and transplantation perspectives through art. Submissions were judged by Donate Life NYS’ Donation Advisory Council comprised of transplant recipients and their families. Entries were judged based on creativity, visual impact, artistic merit, and originality. Contest winners were announced as part of the organization’s annual Legislative Education Event.

We invite you to enjoy these wonderfully creative interpretations by the next generation of talented young artists, and be inspired to enroll as an organ, eye, and tissue donor on the New York State Donate Life Registry.
