Law Day Poster and Essay Contest
Each year on May 1, the United States observes Law Day to celebrate our legal system and the fundamental freedoms we enjoy as Americans. In recognition of this occasion, the 16th Judicial Circuit and the Monroe County Bar Association invite students from Monroe County, Florida—including those in public, private, and home schools—to participate in this year’s Law Day Contest.
We encourage you to share the attached contest information with your educators and students. It is important for our community’s youth to understand our legal system and reflect on how the rule of law ensures that all Americans can pursue their dreams. This year’s theme, “The Rule of Law and the American Dream,” highlights the principle that no person is above the law and that equal justice protects the freedoms we cherish.
Click the links below to find the rules and registration forms for the two Law Day contests:
• A classroom poster/banner contest for students in kindergarten through 5th grade
• An essay contest for students in grades 6 through 12
The guidelines and forms will also be available at Law Day 2026 – Court Administration 16th Circuit of Florida. Banner paper will be provided upon request, or students may use their own paper as long as it meets the requirements. Posters/banners must be no larger than 4 feet long by 2 feet wide and no smaller than 2 feet by 3 feet (poster board size), and they must hang vertically.
The entry deadline for all contests is Friday, April 3, 2026. Winners will be announced on April 17, 2026, and will receive their prizes shortly thereafter, courtesy of the Monroe County Bar Association.
America turns 250 and Florida students can help tell the story! K-12 students are invited to submit original art or essays celebrating Florida’s contributions to our nation’s history.
