High School Visual Arts Program
Donate Life Connecticut is happy to announce the launch of the 35th Annual Erica Grossman High School Visual Arts Contest. Since 1990, tens of thousands of high school students have participated in Donate Life Connecticut’s Annual Visual Arts Contest, helping to further organ donation awareness and promote the DLC mission to more Connecticut communities.
​
The contest is held each year to encourage high school students to learn the importance of Organ and Tissue Donation, giving the student a personal perspective on the importance of the message of Donate Life CT.
​
Students in grades 9-12 enrolled in a Connecticut High School, including public, private, magnet, and parochial, are invited to participate.
