Become an Artist

If you are under 18 years old, love to draw and want your talents to support Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, please join our art contest! Submissions can e made by patients, former patients, siblings of patients or close family or friends. Winning designs will be sued on cards and other gift items sold on the website and throughout the community.

To enter the contest, either download the drawing sheet or create art and submit to friends@vumc.org. Art work is due annually on May 31, with winners announced in late summer.

Art designs are needed for the winter holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's and Valentine's Day), in addition to general occasion cards.

To see samples of winning art, scroll through the selections on this website.
