2026 CEMC calendar will feature local students’ artwork

Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation’s 2026 Calendar Art Contest was held this spring, and once again, we were amazed by the incredible submissions from talented young artists across our service area. Judging this contest is never an easy job, and this year proved no different.

The winners have been selected and notified, and while the calendars won’t be available until later this year, we’re excited to give you a sneak peek at some of the winning artwork.

Contest winners receive cash prizes, and their artwork will be featured in one of three calendar editions being offered this year. As always, calendars are free and will be available at all CEMC district business offices starting in November.

A big thank you goes out to all the gifted students who entered, as well as the teachers and parents who supported their participation. Don’t forget to check out the January 2026 issue of The Tennessee Magazine for information on how to enter next year’s contest. We’re already looking forward to seeing what next year brings!
