Break the Silence: A Creative Submission Contest

Our Youth Advisory Board at YCC has created a contest for middle/high school students to share their experiences regarding mental health as a teenager in the Lexington community.

Prompt: “What is it like to be a teen in Lexington?”

You can use this prompt to create 1 of 3 categories: art, essay/story, or prose. 

Submissions are due by May 15, 2025. We will be holding an event to determine winners for each category. Winners will receive an award and published submission. For questions feel free to reach out to Emily (emily@youthcounselingconnection.org).
