Look Around Boone Creative Contest 2018-2019
1 in 5 people ages 14-18 years old experience or will experience a serious mental
health concern, yet stigma (negative perceptions and attitudes) towards experiencing and
seeking help for our mental well-being still exists in all ages of members of our
community. Look Around Boone is a public awareness campaign aiming to reduce that stigma.
FACE and Look Around Boone partners want to showcase your powerful artwork throughout
the County. Help us raise awareness about mental health creating powerful creative
materials! We are seeking students who are passionate about the goals of
Look Around to join and grow the movement, lead the conversation, and steer
