Win a place of the Kooth Future Council

Kooth has launched a competition to find their first-ever youth-powered content team! The prize? Winners will learn and collaborate with top social media creative talent Luke Vernon, Dan Whitlam and Eva Malley, supported by Ravensbourne University.

They will participate in a series of masterclasses where they will be empowered to create content that opens up conversations around mental well-being, helping young people across the UK.

Kooth Future Council members will also gain new skills including video editing, social content creation, teamwork, leadership and creative problem solving which will boost their future college, UCAS or job applications.

The competition entry is simple. They’re asking any 15 - 18 year olds/ 15 - 18 year old students in Years 10-13 to create an original piece of artwork, illustration, photography, video or creative writing that answers the question: "How do you overcome negative emotions?"

The competition is perfect for young people working towards GCSE, BTEC, A-Level, Nationals or Higher exams in Art, Graphics, Photography, Design, Psychology, Business Studies, Drama, Media Studies and English.

However, this is an opportunity for ALL 15 - 18 year olds. Multiple studies have shown that creative activities can significantly boost young people’s emotional well-being. Creative expression can build resilience, helping them feel seen and heard.

An information sheet about this opportunity is available to download below. 

Competition criteria can be found by visiting www.kooth.com/future-council which is also where submissions should be made, anytime until the closing date of Friday 15th November.
