Children’s Art Contest
The Eagles’ annual Children’s Art Contest provides youth in grades 3-6 an outlet to showcase their creative skills for a chance to win a cash prize. By igniting the creative process while teaching the core values and beliefs of The Fraternal Order of Eagles, we can help build future generations of People Helping People. The Fraternal Order of Eagles encourages the participation of youth throughout the United States and Canada (including children with no current ties to the F.O.E.) and urges each of our Aeries and Auxiliaries to get involved by educating local schools and community programs about the Children’s Art Contest.
