Calling All Young Artists: Coloring Contest Open for 2027 Children's Sticker Calendar

The Champaign County Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS) Child Support Division is proud to support creativity and connection through art—one drawing at a time. We are excited to invite local children to participate in the statewide coloring contest for the 2027 Children’s Sticker Calendar.

This annual contest offers kids across Ohio the chance to have their artwork featured in a calendar designed to help families stay organized with visitations, appointments, and other important milestones. The 2026 calendar cover, in fact, features the vibrant artwork of Eleanor Wright—one of our very own young artists right here in Champaign County.

Now, we’re looking for the next round of creative submissions!

How to Participate:
Children may submit an original, hand-drawn piece of art—or choose to color one of the attached templates. All entries must follow these guidelines:

• Artwork must be on 8.5" x 11" white paper, landscape orientation
• Each drawing should include the child’s first name and age
• A photo release form (below) must be signed and submitted as a separate document (do not print it on the back of the coloring page)
• Optional: use the blank coloring sheet or included coloring book page

Submissions may be selected for the 2027 Children’s Sticker Calendar or for other Child Support Awareness Month materials.

We look forward to seeing the imagination and talent of Champaign County’s youth shine through their artwork!

For questions or to return completed entries and signed release forms, please contact the Champaign County DJFS Child Support Division.

Together, let’s inspire creativity and celebrate the importance of family connection.
