Call for 2026 Protecting Our Children Conference Artists
The National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) invites American and Alaskan Native artists to apply to be an artist for the 2026 Protecting Our Children Conference. NICWA selects one artist each year to be the visual center piece of the conference.
The winning artist will receive a $2,000 cash prize for the use of work in promotional materials and a free arts and crafts vendor booth at the conference (if they notify NICWA by November 2025). Work will also be published on NICWA’s website and printed materials.
To apply, fill out this form and email the completed PDF to Training@nicwa.org with artwork attached to the email. All applications MUST be submitted by May 16, 2025.
