Where are our local artists? Don't forget to submit your entry in the Youth Art Contest by June 1st!

We invite you to participate in our Youth Art Contest and showcase what means to you!

Young artists are encouraged to think creatively about how agriculture shows up in their daily lives and communities, then draw and color in their provided county outline. Each University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension county office will select one winning entry to be featured in a special display at the 2026 Kentucky State Fair.
