In January, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa members created artwork in recognition of influential Black people from around the globe that include historical figures, world leaders, athletes and celebrities. The 10 finalists were chosen by representatives from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa based on creativity, quality, interpretation, clarity of theme and overall impression. Voting was available online throughout February.
UScellular hosted Black History Month Art Contests with 28 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country in 2021. The individual contests are funded and supported by the company’s Network of Black Associates, an Associate Resource Group dedicated to creating a diverse company culture that attracts, develops and retains Black associates.
