Tucson Birthday Art Contest Winners & Collectibles
Contest Winners & Event Highlights
Congratulations to all of the talented finalists in the 2026 Tucson Birthday Art Contest, and an extra round of applause for our Grand Prize winner, Jenisha Timsina!
This special contest invited young artists ages 5–17 to create original artwork celebrating Tucson’s history, culture, landscapes, and community. The winning designs were featured on commemorative postcards and collectible cachet envelopes, creating special keepsakes that celebrate Tucson through the eyes of our young artists.
We also want to thank everyone who joined us for this year’s celebration. Your support and enthusiasm helped make the 2026 Tucson Birthday Art Contest and Awards Ceremony a memorable event.
During the ceremony, we celebrated our finalists, announced the winners in each age group, and unveiled Jenisha’s Grand Prize design as the official 2026 Tucson Birthday commemorative postcard!
