In honor of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Month and National Police Week, Do The Right Thing is proud to announce the winners of this year’s Art Contest.

This year’s theme, “Building Trust With Those Who Protect Us,” inspired over 150 thoughtful and creative submissions from students across grades 3–12. The winning submissions stood out for their powerful message, creativity, and meaningful reflection on the importance of trust between youth and law enforcement. Each winner will receive a certificate and a $100 Amazon gift card and their framed artwork will be displayed in the lobby of Miami Police Headquarters for the community to admire.

Thank you to every student who participated and shared their creativity with us!
