*Gov. Whitmer Announces Art Contest for 2024 State of the State Program*??

??

*LANSING, Mich.* ? Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced an art contest for the 2024 State of the State program cover. The governor is challenging Michigan?s K-12 students to come up with a creative design for the program cover following the theme, ?A Classic Michigan Story.???

??

?Michigan?s story can be seen in our people?s stories?the ones who worked hard to build a brighter future for themselves and their families,? said *Governor Whitmer*. ?The proposals in this year?s State of the State address will reflect our shared values and commitment to making the next chapter of our story the best one yet. That?s why I?m challenging students across the state to tell us their stories in the design for the State of the State art contest. I can?t wait to see all the artwork!???

??

During her 2024 State of the State address on Wednesday, January 24 at 7:00PM, Governor Whitmer will lay out her plans to continue building on the historic accomplishments of the first Democratic-led legislature in 40 years. Her proposals will lower costs, continue record investments in education from preschool to college, expand access to safe and affordable homes for Michigan families, keep protecting our seniors, boost our state?s economy to new heights, and so much more.????

?

Students are encouraged to be as creative as possible and are welcome to use a wide range of supplies ranging from crayons, markers, paints, or any other materials. To submit your design, please visit michigan.gov/artcontest [ [link removed] ] and follow the instructions on their webpage. *Submissions will be accepted exclusively through the online system and must be received no later than 11:59PM on Sunday, January 14.*??
