What types of submissions do you accept?
We encourage you to upload a drawing, photograph, collage, quote, or other creative expressions that feel meaningful to you. Think about the following prompts: What does women’s suffrage history mean to you? What should future generations feel or remember when they visit this monument?
How will the submitter’s information be displayed?
Featured submissions will include a few brief details about the contributor—including first name, state, age, and/or a short description. These details help showcase the breadth of voices and add context to each submission.

Technical & Support
What file types and sizes are accepted?
