Submissions Due: April 19th, 2025

Mt. Diablo Peace & Justice Center's 27th Annual ART & WRITING CHALLENGE.  Open to Middle and High School Students in Contra Costa County.

This year's topic: "Climate Change: Your Thoughts, Feelings, and Ideas"

We are looking for submissions in three categories:

(1.  Art (including video, original music, visual art, sculpture or photography), 2. Creative Writing, and 3. Essay) The theme is intentionally broad to allow students the freedom to convey their vision. We hope that students critically grapple with the past and present to inform their work. 

We believe that young people hold the keys to our future and it is up to all of us to listen!

Prizes range from $50-$250 

Art & Writing Submissions are due Saturday, April 19th, 3 PM
