Walgreens is proud to launch the 10th Annual Expressions Challenge, a creative arts competition for teens to voice their opinions on critical issues and encourage healthy decisions for a healthy future. Teens are given the opportunity to showcase their creative perspective on healthy lifestyle choices in three categories: creative writing, visual arts, and multimedia arts for a chance to win prizes. First place students in each category will receive $2,000, second place students will receive $1,250 in each category. For 10 years, the Expressions platform has allowed teens to address what is most important in their lives. Launched originally to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS among teens, Expressions has gone down new paths as young people have used their creativity to address topics that concern them, including teen pregnancy, gender identity, drug abuse, self-esteem, cyber-bullying, anxiety, depression, and more. This year’s Challenge launched Aug. 15, 2019 in all Chicagoland and St. Louis high schools and runs until Dec. 15, 2019. Go to ExpressionsChallenge.com for more information.
