Create for a cause! Feeding South Florida® – the leading hunger-relief organization in South Florida – is proud to once again host its Sixth Annual “Feed Your Creativity” Art Competition. Elementary, middle and high school students throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties are invited to compete for the opportunity to have their artwork displayed on one of Feeding South Florida’s semi-trailer truck wrap – a 36-foot moving billboard that travels throughout South Florida. Feeding South Florida will accept artwork submissions from Feb. 1 through April 30, 2025.
Feeding South Florida’s mission is to end hunger in South Florida by providing immediate access to nutritious food, leading hunger and poverty advocacy efforts and transforming lives through innovative programming and education.
The 2025 Feed Your Creativity campaign focuses on “Nourishing Futures This Summer,” highlighting the importance of healthy meals in building a brighter future for kids. The artwork submitted should depict this theme. Feeding South Florida strongly encourages students to incorporate its brand colors, orange, green, yellow, lime and fuchsia, in their art. Students should keep the focus on the idea of nourishment and giving; use bold colors to make their artwork stand out; think about how their art can inspire others to care about summer hunger and ensure their message is clear.
Judging will take place from May 4 through May 9. Winners will be announced at a Gallery Night at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park on Thursday, May 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. The truck reveal celebration will be held at the school of the first-place winner on Thursday, May 29, at 12 p.m. All students’ artwork will be displayed at Feeding South Florida Pembroke Park and Boynton Beach warehouses.
The first-place winner will be awarded:
- Artwork is displayed as a truck wrap on a 36-foot tractor/trailer that travels throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.
- Artwork prominently displayed at Feeding South Florida’s Pembroke Park warehouse.
- Recognition on social media platforms, including Facebook, X and Instagram.
Additional accolades include grade, county (Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe) and the categories: Feeding South Florida team favorite and the most creative.
The “Feed Your Creativity” art competition is part of Feeding South Florida’s “Summer Hunger Ends Here” initiative, designed to raise the awareness and funds necessary to address summer hunger for kids in South Florida. It aims to engage students, their parents, teachers and schools in a critical issue, while also recognizing the creative talent in the South Florida community.
Summer months are some of the most difficult times for South Florida families because children don’t have access to free or reduced-price school meals when school is not in session. In South Florida, more than 300,000 kids rely on free or reduced meals during the school year.
Seeking to help fill the void of school meals, Feeding South Florida is a proud sponsor of the USDA Summer Food Service Program, providing meals to kids at Summer BreakSpots, pop-up pantries in low-income communities. Feeding South Florida also assists families at its Community Caring Centers, food pantries, along with other services at both of its warehouses in Pembroke Park in Broward County and Boynton Beach in Palm Beach County.
“We are proud to launch our sixth annual ‘Feed Your Creativity’ Art Competition that kicks off our ‘Summer Hunger Ends Here’ campaign,” said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. “Summer break can leave many kids without access to free or reduced-price school meals, creating a challenge for families. This competition is always a favorite among students as it allows them to express their creativity while raising awareness about the critical issue of hunger in South Florida.”
