3. Kooth Future Council
The Kooth Future Council creative competition is open from 23rd September – 15th November.
Young people aged 15 -18 interested in participating can find more information on how to enter at kooth.com/future-council
The competition entry is simple: create an original piece of artwork, illustration, photography, video or creative writing that answers the question:
"How do you overcome negative emotions?"
The competition is perfect for young people working towards GCSE, BTEC, A-Level, Nationals or Higher exams in Art, Graphics, Photography, Design, Psychology, Business Studies, Drama, Media Studies and English.
However, this is an opportunity for ALL 15 - 18 year olds. Multiple studies have shown that creative activities can significantly boost young people's emotional well-being. Creative expression can build resilience, helping them feel seen and heard.
