Youth Art Contest

Raising Awareness for Suicide Prevention

We invite students in grades 6–12 to participate in our Youth Art Contest, aimed at raising awareness. Messages should reflect themes of hope, help, strength, and resilience. We understand that life is not always perfect and that struggles are inevitable. We also understand that art is a way to express experiences and emotions. Our hope is that you create and share art that feels true to your experience without any graphic or gory depictions of suicide. The contest provides an opportunity for young artists to share their voices, creativity, and experiences in a meaningful way.
