Art & Essay

Know Her Story!

Women everywhere have left their mark on each of our personal histories. They’ve inspired, encouraged, and paved the way forward and it’s time we know their name. South Dakota Students help us tell their stories through the “Know Her Story” Art & Essay Contest, sponsored by Her Vote. Her Voice. and the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation.

Students have written an original essay or created an original piece of art about a South Dakota woman who made an impact. The creative work addresses who the woman is, what she did, what impact this had on those around her, and why we should know her story.

This contest is brought to you by the Education and Advocacy Partners of Her Vote. Her Voice., including Lawrence & Schiller, BankWest, and First PREMIER Bank.

Help us congratulate the ART & ESSAY Winners and Honorable Mentions

Over the next two weeks, we will introduce you to fifteen students and their works.
