How do you work through stress and worry?
We’re looking for your creative ideas!
What’s this all about?
OK You works with all kinds of people to design creative projects that support emotional wellness. Our goal is to inspire more people to “create their own OK.” We think of OKness as that feeling of inner peace you get when you’re feeling strong, calm and connected to your best self.
We believe we all have it in us to create that feeling for ourselves, and:
We believe that middle and high school students
have the wisdom and imagination to
create more OKness in the world.
DO YOU NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE OR BE AN ARTIST?
Absolutely not. Your experience as a human is what we value most.
Also, we believe that we’re all creative in our own ways, especially when we focus on what we love. Wherever you find joy and expression—in painting, cooking, music, nature, etc—that’s where your creativity will come alive.
We’re looking for ideas not masterpieces.
Creativity can be any idea or activity that engages the imagination. We like surprises!
Why participate?
If selected as a finalist, your project will be featured in our e-book and on this website, inspiring others to create their own OK.
You also have a chance to win one of our three cash prizes:
First place: $350
Second place: $250
Third place: $150
And, most importantly, your idea could make a difference in many lives and create more OKness in the world!
