The theme is social issue topics, such as ecology, justice, peace, equality, crime prevention, freedom of speech, etc. We are seeking stories about humankind’s relationship with nature and each other, either positive or negative, to bring awareness of our ecological and social challenges. We encourage you to work in collaboration with other youth--perhaps one or more creating the dialogue and others providing the art work.
To clarify some confusion over the "donation" request: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, we are always seeking donations. However, there is not an entry fee for this competition. Donations are voluntary. All submissions are accepted without donations. If you are submitting by mail, checks are accepted. Go here to make on-line donation: Events, Tickets, Donations
