5th Annual Logo Contest
Hadassa Pasteur is the winner of our 2026 School Supply Drive Logo Contest!
Hadassa, 15, is a student at South Tech Academy High School. He submitted a drawing of racoons playing with school supplies sprawled out around them, saying it represents "how many people, especially those who are less fortunate, must search and look through opportunities to learn and grow" and how supplies "can be the beginning of a child's journey towards a brighter future."
Hadassa's drawing will serve as our official logo for the 2027 School Supply Drive. He also received a $200 Amazon Gift Card.
To participate, students 18 years and under must submit their original drawing with a brief description of what they created and why. They must also include their age, what school they attend, and their contact information (phone, email and address). All submissions are judged in terms of artistic merit, creativity, and how well the theme is communicated through the artwork.
In total, 36 students participated in the contest.
