Voting is now open for the “Voices for Youth Mental Health” Art Contest. Munson Healthcare, northern Michigan’s largest non-profit healthcare system, launched this contest to allow those of all ages to express feelings, wisdom, and hope on issues related to mental health and the community. Voting will remain open through November 20 when cash prizes will be awarded.
Voters can choose their favorite piece in each category: children, adult, and youth. The winner for first, second, and third place in each category will be announced following the close of voting.
“The response to the call for submissions had been absolutely, positively overwhelming with amazing, creative works of art across all ages that communicate so many unique perspectives on youth mental health. We’re looking forward to the community participating in the voting and can’t wait to share the results,” said Christi Nowak, MPH, MBA, System Director of Community Health and Engagement.
There are over 100 art submissions for the contest.
