The, Oklahoma Bar Association is keeping its tradition in celebrating the 45th annual Law Day by holding an art and writing contest for all Oklahoma students.

The theme for this year’s contest is “Advancing the Rule of Law Now.”

Coloring sheets for pre-k and kindergarteners and writing and art prompts for 1st through 12th graders are available at www.okbar.org/lawday. Winners will receive awards and cash prizes, and all participants will receive a certificate. Winning entries will be published in the Oklahoma Bar Journal and posted to the OBA website. Entries are due January 15 to P.O. Box 53036, Oklahoma City, OK 73152.

Law Day, a nationwide event designated by the U.S. Congress in 1958, is celebrated each year to raise public awareness of American law.

The idea for Law Day was conceived by the late Hicks Epton, a Wewoka attorney and OBA past president.
