Once a year, Iowa NYTD holds a Creative Expressions Contest for youth between the ages of 14 and 24 who have experienced foster care or other out of home placement. The Creative Expressions Contest invites youth to create a work of art that captures the given theme. Entries can include a wide variety of art media including but not limited to, paintings, photographs, drawings, etc.
All youth receive a certificate and an incentive for participating, with the top 3 receiving a monetary reward.
