2024 Belonging and Diversity Art Contest

Submissions accepted in 990 KMBL from February 5, 2024 through April 8, 2024.

The Belonging and Diversity Committee in the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences is sponsoring its fourth annual art contest to help fulfill its mission to nurture a Zion community based on unity, respect, and charity toward all at BYU.

We hope you will internalize this year's theme of "Hearts Knit Together in Unity and in Love" as you reflect on what it means to you and express those ideas through all forms of art. We look forward to gathering diverse perspectives on the theme.
