Sam Z. Coronado Student Poster Art Contest

Theme

The Center for Mexican American Studies is proud to announce Education Is Our Strength as the chosen theme for the 2025-2026 Sam Z. Coronado Poster Art Contest. Feel free to interpret this theme however it moves you in the creation of your artwork. We invite all full-time enrolled UT Austin undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of major or college, to submit an original poster design. Three winning entries will be determined by a blind jury process, and the chosen artwork will live on in various forms throughout the next year and half. This student award is as much about making a lasting impression on the visual archive of our department as it is about winning.
