Contest Guidelines
Calling all NWT classrooms from Grades 7-12!
We invite your classroom to participate in an art contest that empowers voices against gender-based violence through creative expression. Showcase your creativity and contribute to the conversation on gender-based violence prevention.
The theme, "Breaking the Silence: Empowering Voices Against Gender-Based Violence," asks you to make art that shows how we can stand up against gender-based violence and support each other. Your submission should help others learn about this issue and inspire people to talk about stopping gender-based violence. The judges will look for art that clearly shows these ideas.
Categories
Illustration or Painting
Poem or Song
Film/ short video (can be created using a smartphone)
Judging Criteria
Submissions will be evaluated based on:
Creativity and Originality
Relevance to the Theme
Visual Impact
Potential for Sparking Awareness and Discussion about Gender-Based Violence Prevention

Each classroom may submit one entry in one category.
