The Arizona State Treasurer’s Office together with AZ529, Arizona’s Education Savings Plan, are asking Arizona kindergarten through sixth grade students to picture their future careers and the education they need to achieve their dreams.
The fourth annual AZ529 Future Career Art Contest, which has now launched, asks students to bring their dreams to life on paper, according to a press release. Students are asked to draw, paint or find a creative way to make artwork representing their dream job.
A total of 15 winners will be selected across the state and receive $529 toward opening a new or existing AZ529 Education Savings Plan account. One winner will be selected from each of Arizona’s 15 counties, the release continues, and at least one winner each representing a district, charter, private school, tribal school and homeschool will be selected. Winners will be honored by Treasurer Kimberly Yee during a special ceremony at the State Capitol at the end of March.
According to the release, nearly $8,000 will be distributed to 15 students to kickstart or contribute to saving for their educational plans beyond high school.
Parents or guardians of the winners will be responsible for setting up an AZ529 account if an account does not already exist.
All entries must be submitted either online to az529.gov/2025ArtContest or through direct mail. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. (MST) March 9.
