ACTION & AWARENESS
Monthly Poster Contests
Welcome to our monthly poster contest! Each month, you’ll have the chance to win a $25 e-gift card by designing a powerful poster focused on academic stress and mental wellness in high school students. Share your voice, raise awareness, and help spark meaningful conversations in your school community. Submissions are open until the last day of every month, so there’s always time to get involved. Winners will be notified by email and receive their gift card directly in their inbox.
You may use any tools for your design (Canva, pencil & paper, Adobe Illustrator, etc.)
FEBRUARY TOPIC
Progress, Not Perfectionism
This month’s theme is Perfectionism — the pressure to always achieve more, do better, and never make mistakes. In high school, the drive for perfect grades, perfect resumes, and perfect futures can feel overwhelming. While striving for excellence can be motivating, perfectionism often comes with anxiety, burnout, and fear of failure.
Through your poster, explore the hidden side of perfectionism. Show its impact on mental wellness, the pressure students face, and the importance of self-compassion over self-criticism. Let your art spark a conversation about progress, not perfection.
