Join the POV Challenge
Carolina Across 100 is asking Carolina undergraduate and graduate students to use their talents and skills to share their point of view (POV) on how we can improve mental health and reduce suicide in North Carolina. Using publicly available data and other information, students can get creative to share what they learn and offer their insights through:
·
Art ·
Music ·
Photography ·
Poetry ·
Data Visualization
Infographics·
Interpretive Dance
And more...
All submissions are welcome as long as they aim to answer one of the three challenge prompts offered on the POV Challenge web page.
Student submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges and two $500 awards will be offered, as well as honorary mentions. All submissions will be on display at the Engagement Week reception at the UNC School of Government on March 1st. After the competition, submissions will be used in a variety of ways as the Carolina Across 100 initiative continues to engage with communities across the state on issues through programs like Our State, Our Wellbeing.
