About the 2024 Contest
Hosted by Strengthening the Heartland, the Healthy Decision-Making Art Contest gives youth across the à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã’s the opportunity to share their art.
For this year’s art contest, youth were asked to create art that represented what building stronger communities meant to them.
In response, we received a myriad of creative submissions including illustration, drawing and painting. Submissions were judged based on criteria craftsmanship, originality and interpretation of the topic.
