Tomorrow Project Contest

The Earth is in crisis. Dig deep, YWP, and write about it with YWP Alumni Advisor Sam Aikman. Find "both the heavy and the hopeful, the worried and the appreciative, the challenged and the uplifted ... to create!"

Tell a story, real or imagined, in which kindness plays a starring role.

Create art that explores the many impacts of the climate crisis and celebrates the wonders and beauty of Earth. Find inspiration in YWP Alumni Advisor Sam Aikman's series of visual art prompts. 

Kindness and empathy are powerful forces. Look around you. Where do you find kindness? In the artistic medium of your choice, share your discoveries. 

A democratically elected government might not be enough to uphold the tenets of democracy in America. Can President Abraham Lincoln's vision "of the people, by the people, for the people" be saved? What needs to change to protect democracy?

Consider how rights are diminishing for LGBTQ+ people, women, Native Americans, people of color, people with disabilities, and other historically marginalized groups. Write about the impact this has on you, your friends & family, your community.

How do you celebrate human rights through art? How do you protest their erosion in America today? In photography, painting, sketching, digital art, or another medium of your choice, send a powerful message through your art.

Using the medium of your choice, interpret the concept of democracy. Consider President Abraham Lincoln's "government of the people, by the people, for the people." You can take a realistic photograph or create an imaginative illustration. 

Illustrate the concepts of home, community, and inclusion. 

In the genre of your choice, describe how you gather support from your community in a challenging time.
