The Supreme Court (SC) has invited elementary school students nationwide to join a special poster-making contest themed “Imagine a Just World” as part of the celebration of its 125th anniversary.

The nationwide competition is open to all currently enrolled Grades 1 to 6 students, with each school allowed to submit only one entry.

Participants are required to create posters measuring 10 inches by 15 inches, either in portrait or landscape orientation. Entries may be produced using traditional art materials such as crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels, or watercolor; through digital tools and applications; or by combining both methods in mixed media.

The SC said all submissions must be original works created specifically for the contest.

Each entry must also include a title and a short description of no more than 100 words explaining how the artwork reflects the contest theme.

Posters will be submitted through an online platform, which the SC said will be announced soon. The submission period will begin in the third week of January 2026 and will run until 28 February 2026. Late entries will not be accepted.

From all submissions, 20 finalists will be selected and invited to the Supreme Court to present their works before a panel of judges. The finalists’ entries will also be featured in a special exhibit at the SC and included in a commemorative coloring book.

From the Top 20 finalists, the following cash prizes will be awarded:

• First prize: P125,000

• Second prize: P75,000

• Third prize: P40,000

• Special prizes (12 winners): P10,000 each

All winners will be formally recognized during an awarding ceremony at the Supreme Court.
