25th Annual Buffalo News
​Editorial Cartoon Contest

Shelton Square, Buffalo, Erie County, NY  Source: Library of Congress 

25th Annual Buffalo News Editorial Cartoon Contest 

The Buffalo News invites your students to sharpen their wits, put pen to paper and create an editorial cartoon for our 25th Annual Editorial Cartoon Contest. Make it a class project!

​Editorial Cartooning is a great and unique way to teach English Language Arts and Social Studies while giving your students a chance to interpret cartoons for the NYS Assessments. The best political cartoons convey an opinion on a current event in the form of a cartoon.

There are three categories for entry.
• The general category will have three divisions, broken down by grade. 

• The Best Local Cartoon category is for grades 5-12.
• TR Site Informed Citizen Award
Once again, the TR Site will be part of this year’s contest and will present its Informed Citizen Award!


Our hope is to encourage greater civic awareness and participation, especially among young people. The Informed Citizen Award recognizes students who examine issues of 1901 that continue to resonate today.
— Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site
