National Youth Week Poster Competition

Here is your chance to get national attention for your creative skills by designing the 2011 National Youth Week (NYW) Poster!  Enter the NYW poster competition by designing a poster to the theme ‘Own It’ and you could also win a cash prize.

NYW is the largest celebration of young people in Australia.  Youthbeyondblue has supported this exciting event in every Australian state and territory for a number of years.

Up to one in five young people in Australia experiences depression. Of these, up to 60 per cent don’t get the professional help they need - because they don’t have a regular GP, they’re not likely to talk to adults who aren’t family members - but they are talking to their mates.

beyondblue encourages young people to learn more about the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders and where to get help, so they’ll be in a better position to look after themselves and their friends.  To find out more information about depression, anxiety and related disorders call the beyondblue info line on 1300 22 4636.

The NYW Poster Competition entries close 25 July. Find out more at www.youthweek.com.
