Youth Art Contest Application

We are delighted to invite you to participate in “Reflections & Resilience,” a special visual art showcase dedicated to exploring how art can both express our deepest emotions and support our mental well-being.

Have questions? Feel free to send us an email at info@pozebazaar.org.

Deadline to apply: February 17, 2025

Why “Reflections & Resilience”?

Art goes beyond creating beautiful things—it’s a powerful medium for storytelling, healing, and self-discovery. In this showcase, we encourage artists to channel their emotional journeys into pieces that advocate for mental health awareness and inspire hope in others.

What We’re Looking For:

2-D & 3-D Works: Paintings, drawings, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics—let your imagination guide you.
Emotion-Focused Themes: Use color, form, and texture to convey personal stories, emotional truths, or mental health challenges and triumphs.
Empathy & Innovation: Surprise us with fresh perspectives that encourage reflection, conversation, and empathy.

We believe in the transformative power of art as a means to cope, connect, and communicate. By participating, you help create a supportive community where conversations around mental health can flourish through visual expression.

We look forward to witnessing your unique reflections and the strength that emerges through your art. Thank you for contributing to a showcase celebrating both creativity and emotional well-being.
