Unique you contest
​

GenZ Writes is hosting Unique You- a creative contest embracing your unique identity, ideologies, and beliefs through creative submissions.

​

  • Must be 13-19 years old
  • ​All submitted work must be original; plagiarized work and non-original submissions will result in immediate withdrawal from the contest.
  • Any time of submission is allowed: photography, videography, writing, art or music
  • Your submission must portray some sort of theme or statement part of your unique identity.

The Contest:
Our contest is all about people finding themselves and their unique identities through submissions of their creative work. 

  • What makes you unique? What struggles have you faced in your past? How can you convey this in your artwork and turn it into a positive message? 

You will be submitting a creative piece that resembles your unique identity and what makes you unique. Examples of your submission can include:
