Description
Payne County Youth Services is excited to announce the theme for this year’s Voices of Today Art Contest:
“I Wish You Knew…”
We all carry unspoken thoughts, hidden feelings, and untold stories. Sometimes we wish others could truly understand what we’ve been through, how we feel, or what matters most. This contest invites youth to share those perspectives through creativity and self-expression.
📌 Details
Theme: “I Wish You Knew…”
Categories: Imagery, Poetry, Photography
Eligibility: 6th–12th graders who live, work, or attend school in Payne County, OK
Cost: FREE to participate (like all services offered by PCYS!)
Deadline: December 15, 2025
Submissions may be turned in to designated staff at the school site, dropped off at the OSU Museum of Art at 720 S.

An image of the submission and permission form may be submitted electronically via email to kims@pcys.org. Submissions must be received by a school/OSUMOA/PCYS before close of business on 12/15/2025.
