National Kidney Month inspires communities across the country to support kidney care, awareness and kidney disease research and and encourages individuals to be proactive in managing their care.

This contest is open to people in the United States who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), their family members, caregivers and living kidney donors.

People of all ages and skill levels are invited to enter the contest. Your submission can be traditional or digital creation. You can create your art by using your camera, mixed media collage, scrapbook collage or use finger paints or colored pencils. Anything goes as long as it reflects the theme, “Joyful Expression of Hope.”

Artwork must be two-dimensional and original in concept, design, and execution.  Accepted mediums for the two-dimensional artwork are as follows: Paintings, Drawings, Collages, Mixed Media, Computer-Generated Art and Photographs. Videos do not qualify.

Winners receive cash prizes; awards and their artwork will be featured on RSN’s website. Submissions will be accepted online until Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
