Highlight: Do you want to share your voice about our society? Then Never Such Innocence’s multi-category contest may be for you! The organization itself focuses on giving young people all over the world a voice in conflict. This multi-category contest features speech writing, poetry, song, and artwork categories. Participants are allowed to submit one entry/ category for as many categories as they wish. The age range is 9-18, but don’t worry, the ages are separated into different groups (9-11, 11-14, 14-16, 16-18). This multi-category contest allows for people from around the world to express their perspective through a variety of artistic and literary media; selected works are also published! To help you along the way if you’re stuck for ideas, Never Such Innocence’s multi-category contest has virtual workshops and mini activities to promote creativity. If you want to check out what others have done, feel free to take a look at this multi-category contest’s previous winners booklet! So, if you’re passionate about sharing your voice on conflict and want a chance to show it through writing, song, art, or poetry, then think about submitting your entry to this mid-winter multi-category contest when it opens in February — before it closes mid-March!
