Calling all Creatives! Launch Of R U OK? Day Student Art Competition | ELG | Help children with special needs in China

ELG and Lifeline Shanghai are proud to launch this year’s R U OK? Day Art Competition. This competition is to promote the importance of positive mental health through art! The competition is open to all Middle and High School students in the Greater Shanghai area. Winners will be announced online at the end of June.

THEME: TRUST THE SIGNS – ASK R U OK?

If you notice someone feeling moody, withdrawn, behaving recklessly, overly concerned about the future, or perhaps no longer interested in the things they used to love, or if they might be going through some big changes in their lives – those are all signs that someone may be having trouble coping.

If you notice a change, no matter how small, trust your gut, trust the signs, and ask: “Are you OK?” Ask those 3 simple words and make a huge difference.

ENTRIES

Create an original artwork embracing this year’s theme! Express yourself through a drawing, painting, poster design or photograph. Your unique interpretation is what we are looking for!

Entries will be prominently displayed at this year’s R U OK? Day and even stand the chance to be made into different products. Winning entries will also be featured on ELG and Lifeline Shanghai’s social media accounts, sharing their powerful artwork with the Shanghai community and beyond.
