ABOUT PAINT THE STATE

The Montana Meth Project’s Paint the State 2023 initiative is now open for registration! Join the statewide public art contest that engages Montanans in on-the-ground drug prevention. The contest invites Montana residents 13 years of age and older to create monument-sized original public works of art that inspire Montanans to live vibrant drug-free lives incorporating the Meth Project’s “Not Even Once” message.

Registration is open through May 2023. Artwork must be installed for judging by June 30, 2023. Individuals and groups may register to create their large-scale public art installations in teen and adult divisions. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top regional submissions and to statewide winners.

“Combating the Meth crisis has become more urgent as methamphetamine-related overdoses, hospitalizations, and deaths increase. I encourage Montanans to join the Paint the State initiative by creating public works of art that stir and inspire all Montanans to live drug-free.”

— Montana Governor Greg Gianforte
