Mental Health Art Contest 

Calling all Indigenous artists, our annual Mental Health Art Contest has officially opened! Artists must submit an art piece showcasing Indigenous resiliency through one of the two provided options, and this year we have two age categories: youth (ages 16-24) and adult (ages 25+). Swipe to read more about the themes of belonging and generosity.

• Option 1: Belonging – Create an artistic depiction of what belonging means to you.
• Option 2: Generosity – Create an artistic depiction of the importance of generosity and/or what generosity means to you.

The first place winner for each age category will have their artwork featured at the 2025 American Indian Suicide Prevention Convening (SPC), their artwork will be showcased on a t-shirt, and they will receive a special prize!
