Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.

Hate cannot overcome hate. only love can do that.

- Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior

Please Join the Moore County NAACP as we present a Virtual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Youth Celebration. This year's keynote speaker will be 12-year-old phenom Minister Elijah Lee, who blew away a crowd of tens of thousands at last February's HKonJ.

The event will also feature a Youth art contest. The inspiration for the piece should be this year’s theme: A Light in the Darkness. This can be taken literally or figuratively. It can be an image of someone (famous or not) that they feel is/was a shining light. It can be of an event that inspires “lightness.” A place or action that they feel lifts up humanity. However they would like to depict this theme.

The piece can be in any medium (or mixed medium) that the artist chooses. Crayon, pencil, water color, paint, collage, charcoal... whatever. WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL THOUGH.

The contest is open to all youth that are 0-19.

Submission should include:
- a close up, clear photo of the work
- the full name of the artist
- the grade of the artist
- the age of the artist
- a brief description of the work and it meaning to the artist

Submission deadline is Saturday, January 16 @ 12 NOON.
