Pieces of Possibility

A Community Puzzle Creation Event

What is Pieces of Possibility?

Pieces of Possibility is an annual creative event where students design artwork that becomes our official holiday puzzle. It’s a space built for imagination, technology, and self-expression, welcoming creators ages 13–24 to submit art in any style or medium—drawing, photography, digital design, or AI-assisted tools. The theme encourages students to explore innovation, resilience, and future-focused ideas, turning personal inspiration into something the whole community can enjoy.

After submissions close, the excitement shifts to our online voting celebration. Families, friends, and supporters browse the gallery, share their favorite designs, and cast votes to help lift young artists into the spotlight. Every vote not only supports a creator, but helps raise funds for STEAM education, making the entire experience both fun and impactful. This phase is designed to be energetic, interactive, and shareable—perfect for people who thrive on community momentum.

When voting wraps up, one student’s artwork is turned into a limited-edition holiday puzzle, symbolizing how ideas become reality when creativity and community come together. The final puzzle isn’t just a product—it’s a collectible piece of student achievement, a yearly tradition, and a reminder that every young person has a spark worth celebrating. Piece by piece, the event brings people together, builds confidence in young creators, and turns imagination into something you can literally hold in your hands.
