Project ADELANTE: Book Cover Art Contest

Friday, February 27, 2026

Students are encouraged to submit original artwork — illustrations, photography, graphic design, or mixed media — to accompany a collection of essays for Project ADELANTE’s Student Testimonio Fellowship. The Book Cover Art Contest is open to all UA students.

The project involves a group of University of Arizona students who have carefully developed and deepened the personal narratives they began in Borderlands writing classes to share with our UA community. This collection honors the powerful tradition of testimonio, amplifying voices of resilience from students navigating the borderlands between languages, cultures, and identities.

The winner will receive $250. Submissions are due February 27.
