Magnify Voices Expressive Art Contest: Submissions Open Through April 27

New Hampshire youth are officially invited to share their voices, creativity, and lived experiences in this year’s Magnify Voices Expressive Art Contest—now open for submissions through April 27. 

This statewide contest encourages young people to express their own mental health journey or the experiences of someone they care about. The goal? To elevate youth perspectives, promote understanding, and spark conversations that matter. 

 

What Counts as Art? 

Anything that helps you express your story. Submissions may include video, photography, drawings, paintings, poetry, written essays or stories, original music, and mixed media projects.  If it’s expressive, it’s welcome.  

 

Celebrate With Us on May 27! 

All artists, and the entire community, are invited to a free celebration event on Wednesday, May 27, at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro, N.H. 

At this inspiring event, we will view the full 2026 collection of youth art. During the event we will announce the 12 finalists (each receiving a $250 cash prize) and announce the People’s Choice Award live. Enjoy a complimentary boxed dinner from 5 – 6 p.m. 

Celebrate every young creator who bravely shared their voice. This is a free, communityfocused evening where families, educators, advocates, and supporters come together to honor youth expression.   

 

While the event is free, registration is appreciated. Save your seat here!
