February Teen Art Contest: Imagining a World Without Violence
Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month 2025
INFORMATION: The theme for this art contest is “Imagining a World Without Violence.”
What would a world free from violence feel, look, or sound like? What would be the most impactful quality of this world to you personally? What structures, power relations, cultural attitudes, and collective practices would or would not exist? Although the Rape Recovery Center focuses on sexual violence, we encourage you to think about the specific ways anti-violence resonates with you across any and all contexts of life. This can include, but is not limited to, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating or relationship violence, gender-based violence, interpersonal violence, political violence or war, systemic or institutional violence, violence against animals, etc.
For any questions or concerns, please contact us.
