Lassen Family Services, a local agency committed to ending abuse in our community, is hosting a Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month art contest with $50 cash prizes for the winning artists in two categories.
Entry into the contest is free and limited to one submission per artist.
Along with the artwork, submissions must include a short paragraph on why you chose to participate and to explain your concept.
The art piece also must incorporate some specific text – Teen Dating Awareness Month, February 2025 “Respect That” – that must be easily read from a distance. You can click here to download complete rules and information.
The concept and images for the artwork should be based on the benefits of healthy relationships, and in relation to the theme. The theme “Respect That” highlights the importance of treating partners with dignity, listening to their viewpoints, respecting their boundaries, and valuing their autonomy by focusing on “respect.”
Only original artwork will be considered.
All entries will be reviewed by Lassen Family Services’ Board of Directors to pick the winning design in two categories: Category One for grades 6 to 8, ages 11 to 13 and category two for High School students ages 14 to 17.
The competition will be judged on the marketability of piece to multiple audiences, the creativity and originalality of the artwork and idea, attractiveness in terms of design and the neatness of the layout. Art will also be judged on its overall impact.
Deadline for submissions is January 24th, at 11:59p.m. For questions, please send an email to [email protected].
