Team Kentucky Children’s Poster Contest

The Team Kentucky poster contest provides children an opportunity to increase awareness about the
common goals that unite us as Kentuckians and what we can accomplish when we come together as one
team.
The winners and their families, along with school representatives, will be invited to the Capitol Dec. 10,
where Governor Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear will recognize them. The recognized
artwork will be framed and on display in the Capitol during inauguration celebrations.
