Art has the ability to relay our deepest feelings. For people with epilepsy, art can be a valuable way to communicate their innermost thoughts of living with this serious neurological condition.

 

Now in its 7th year, the Expressions of Courage® national art contest provides people with epilepsy the opportunity to showcase their talents and their perspectives of the world around them through art. In addition, the contest helps raise awareness of epilepsy and eliminate the stigma often associated with the condition.

 

The contest is open now through August 28, 2009. Artwork may be created in ink, pencil, crayon, paint or a combination of these materials and must be on paper or board no larger than 8.5 x 11 inches. Multiple submissions are ok. Send original artwork and a completed entry form to:
