The Family Violence Prevention Council of Broome County thanks you for taking an interest in our 4th Annual Art Contest! The purpose of our art contest is for Broome County students to bring our theme to life.
The theme for 2025 celebrates our exciting anniversary in Broome County- "Celebrating 40 Years of Building Safe Homes" We are hopeful that students will create art that showcases safety, stability, acceptance, protection, and belonging.
For more information on our 2025 Chair and the ideas around her theme, please visit our Home page.
