Beshears Announce ?Forward, Together? Children?s Inauguration Poster Contest Winners

"Governor and First Lady invite winning artists to be recognized at inaugural celebrations"

*FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 11, 2023)* ? Today, Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear announced the five winners of the children?s inauguration poster contest that celebrates the 62nd gubernatorial inauguration theme: "Forward, Together".

The theme is inspired by how Kentuckians came together and got through many hard times over the past four years ? from the pandemic to devastating natural disasters and many challenges in between ? and how we are now getting to the good times together.

On Nov. 16, the Beshears asked children ages 6-17 to imagine what all Kentuckians can accomplish in the future by continuing to work together and to draw a picture of that goal.

?For us, it?s so important that Kentucky kids lend their voices to the inaugural celebrations,? the Beshears said. ?We saw so much talent, creativity and many powerful messages, and although it was extremely difficult, five winners were selected. We want to thank every child, educator, parent and guardian who participated in or supported the contest, and we can?t wait to celebrate the winners tomorrow.?

A panel, including Mrs. Beshear, selected one winner from each age category, ages 6-9, 10-13 and 14-17. Two additional overall winners were selected for having the most colorful and most creative posters.
