Last week, the US congresspassed a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk, a far-right extremist podcaster, with a National Day of Remembrance on October 14, 2025. Every Republican andmost Democrats, participated in the scheme to give a day of national celebration to one of the most hateful, divisive figures in the national political landscape. Kirk’s rhetorictargeted black people, immigrants, gay men, but he was particularly vicious in his hatred of the transgender community.
Many people have treated this as an outrage, but at Assigned Media we saw an opportunity:
You want us to remember Charlie Kirk? We’ll show you how the trans community and our allies remember that rat bastard.
That’s why we’re announcing this art contest to help ensure that October 14 2025 is a remembrance of the hateful, ugly, vicious person Charlie Kirk was rather than the martyr far-right extremists want him to be.
Here are the rules for the art contest:
-
Absolutely no AI, all AI submissions will be disqualified.
-
Drawings containing calls for further violence or that tend to celebrate the shooter will be disqualified at the discretion of Assigned Media.
-
All entry art can be used by Assigned Media, all other rights remain with the artist
-
All entries must be submitted via email by October 10, 2025 to AssignedMedia@proton.me
-
Winners will be announced October 14, along with a showcase of qualified entries
-

-
1st Prize will be $500, distributed by Assigned Media
-
2 additional special prizes of jewelry, courtesy of Nora Reed Designs, will also be distributed
We particularly encourage crude, humorous drawings by non-artists. Have fun and let’s give Charlie Kirk a remembrance to remember!








What file format should entries be submitted in?
They’ll have to be in JPEG or PNG to display on the site, but as long as the file is convertible to those it’s not something we’re too worried about.
My most devious submission has been… submitted. Im wringing my hands together like a villain.
Are mixed media entries (like collages and dioramas) allowed if we submit a photo/scan, or would you like to keep this limited to just 2d drawings or paintings?
We’re happy to take a mixed media entry!
