In Step 1, students selected an LMC Unsung Hero from the Directory and became familiar with that individual’s story. In Step 2, students reviewed the Rules and Guidelines for the Competition.

In Step 3, students create original works of art. Artworks visually interpret the stories of LMC Unsung Heroes as role models. For their artworks, students may wish to explore the Unsung Heroes’ character traits and actions, the consequences of their events and decisions, their impact on the course of history—past or present, or other approaches.

Take time to review the judging rubric for the artworks, which includes 40% for creative interpretation of the Unsung Hero’s story.
