Design a Card Art Contest!

We’re hosting a competition looking for artists (18 and under) to submit their artwork to serve as the cover of two new BRF cards – a THANK YOU card and a BREATHING ROOM card. We are looking for cards that evoke the spirit of the Breathing Room – offering a helping hand or lifting a burden for families fighting cancer, so that they know they are not alone in their fight.

Contest rules:

• Participants can enter on their own, via email, postal mail, or drop off.
• Participants must be under 18 years of age.
• Enter any art that can have a still digital image (painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, etc.)
• Art can be entered online by emailing a scanned attachment to [email protected]; mailing a physical piece or dropping it off to:
  • Breathing Room Foundation
  • Attn: Art Contest
  • 8310 Brookside Road
  • Elkins Park, PA 19027
• Please include the artist’s name, age, school (if applicable), grade, and email address.
• The subject of the photo must be created by the artist. This is not a photography contest.
• Please do not enter art from copyrighted sources such as pictures originated from Disney, Marvel, DC Comics, Pixar, etc.
• You may enter two pieces per artist.
• Deadline for submission is September 19, 2025.

Things to keep in mind – you may create your version of our logo (outstretched hands in a heart), use our foundation name (Breathing Room Foundation) or initials (BRF), or create something entirely new. We are looking for artwork that captures the spirit of the Breathing Room – providing individualized, hands-on support to families living with cancer so that they feel the love and support of BRF and the entire community that supports us.

Prizes! Two winners will be chosen, and each will receive a prize pack of art supplies and gift certificate to Blick’s Art Supply Store. Submissions will be displayed at the 2025 Toast to Life at the Abington Art Center in October.
