Poster, Poetry and Journalism Competition
Since 1994, Donor Awareness Council has hosted the annual Creative Challenge contest to encourage middle and high school students to think about, talk to their families about, and to illustrate organ, eye, and tissue donation. Creative Challenge, which began as a poster contest, has evolved to now include a poetry contest for middle and high school students, and a high school journalism contest. Over the years, we have received thousands of colorful and inspiring posters and truly inspirational, thought provoking poems and articles. We encourage all middle and high school students in Colorado and Wyoming to participate in the Creative Challenge. Please contact Donor Awareness Council for instructional materials for schools, groups, or individuals interested in taking the Creative Challenge!
