Healthy Living Poster Contest
Utilizing the arts to promote healthy eating and living in the community.
UPDATE: The Make Health Happen Poster Contest for 2021 has been suspended as we re-prioritize our efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Check back for updates for future ways we hope to work with the arts and East St. Louis youth!
Make Health Happen ESTL has proudly held the Healthy Living Poster Contest in 2018 and 2019, featuring artwork created by students from East St. Louis School District 189 students in grades K-12.
LOOKING FOR A HEALTHY LIVING ART PROJECT?
Create an original and creative poster that promotes the benefits of one of these topics! Being physically active or eating healthy foods. Unsure of how to start? Use one of the prompts below to consider how healthy living impacts your life:
Illustrate a favorite memory of a healthy activity you did with a loved one (older sibling, friend, parent/grandparent) - cooking a meal, riding bikes, etc.
Draw a still life of your favorite fruits or vegetables - consider a design as fresh produce OR as a plated meal!
Paint an item that symbolizes your favorite healthy activity: worn tennis shoes, baseball hat and uniform, etc.
