National Student Billboard Art Competition
In parternship with XQ and For Freedoms, the campaign invited students aged 13-21 to depict their visions for future high schools on billboards around the country. The billboards explored themes of racial equity, environmental justice, and acceptance.

Background
We created the largest student billboard challenge in the United States. Students created artwork representing the complexity of issues experienced in our educational system after reflecting on prompts like:
- What does a comfortable, safe, productive, and positive learning environment feel like?
- If artists are civic leaders, how can your art support justice in education?
- What does it sound like for a student with your unique voice to be heard?
- What inspires you to learn?
Approach
Lunarsol, in collaboration with For Freedoms, took charge of conceptualizing, crafting, and overseeing the artist challenge prompts, digital billboard placements, mobile billboards campaign, and installations. We also produced captivating live art activations in Rhode Island to launch the billboard competition.
Impact
The winning students' art was featured on prominent billboards in or near their hometowns. Students embraced their identity as artists and had a unique opportunity to convey their ideas for enhancing educational experiences in their communities.
