Dear John, 

Big news! 

We’re currently accepting entries for our 2026 Oregon Right to Life Education Foundation Student Contests.

If you know any passionate young artists, writers, or speakers, please tell them about this opportunity!

Our student contests provide an excellent platform for young creators to use their talents in support of the pro-life cause: to protect the unborn and lift up moms with life-affirming help.

These contests are a time-honored tradition here at Oregon Right to Life.

Every year, we give students the chance to take creative ownership of the pro-life worldview through writing, artwork, film, or speech. Last year, our theme was “Love Both Heartbeats.” To see the submissions from our 2025 participants, click here. 

This year, our theme is: “Support Her, Protect Them.”

Students can participate in three ways:

1. Submit an essay or artwork (Submission Deadline: January 16, 2026)
2. Create a short film or a short-form video (Submission Deadline: February 9, 2026)
3. Deliver a speech (Contact local contest coordinator for details & deadline)

Applications are open to Oregon students of all ages, and adults are invited to submit entries in our film contests. Cash prizes are available for state winners.

Go to ortl.org/contests or click the button below to learn more. To connect with your local contest coordinator, fill out the Find My Contest form on our website.

If you have any questions, just reply to this email – I’ll be happy to help!

I can’t wait to see the imaginative ways students engage with pro-life values in 2026.
