Break the Silence: A Creative Submission Contest

Poster for the 2nd Annual Youth Counseling Connection event titled 'Break The Silence: Youth Creative Competition,' highlighting the prompt on 'What is it like to be a teen in Lexington,' with entry deadline extended to May 15, 2025, encouraging submissions for a chance to win cash awards, featuring the organization logo, QR code, and colorful brushstroke designs.

Our Youth Advisory Board at YCC has created a contest for middle/high school students to share their experiences regarding mental health as a teenager in the Lexington community.

Prompt: “What is it like to be a teen in Lexington?”

You can use this prompt to create 1 of 3 categories: art, essay/story, or prose. 

Submissions are due by May 15, 2025. We will be holding an event to determine winners for each category. Winners will receive an award and published submission. For questions feel free to reach out to Emily (emily@youthcounselingconnection.org).
