Rachel Cho, Grade 6
Artist Statement: I can change the world by challenging society's standards and stereotypes. My artwork shows that we have so many more aspects and characteristics than what society has set aside. Colors, culture, gender, race, identity, or background cannot measure or define who we truly are. We need to acknowledge that we are all unique and valuable as sole individuals, and we should not judge anyone based on biased generalizations. When we finally admit this injustice, these stereotypes can no longer limit us. I can change the world by challenging us to break through these stereotypes to set us free.

Natalia Eastman, Grade 6
Artist Statement: I was inspired to write a song as a way of doing my part to make this world a better place. A few years ago, a group of singers got together to sing a song called, “We are the World”, and raised lots of money for children in Africa, showing how a song can touch people in special ways. After the Covid pandemic, the world needs to come together as one and we all need to spread love to the poor, sick, hungry, and lonely. We cannot let our world go down. Together we can come out of the dark.

Cora Ryan, Grade 3
Artist Statement: I express my feelings through dance, feelings that I sometimes can’t put into words. This dance is about showing people what I’m going through in 3rd grade. It reflects happiness, joy, and sometimes feeling alone. The schoolwork is getting harder. Tests are getting so much harder. I can change the world by showing people what I’m really going through, that it's okay for them to share their feelings too.

100 Compliments a Day - WINNER - Literature

Rachel Cho, Grade 6
Artist Statement: My poem is about how I can change the world by giving a hundred compliments a day. It follows a girl in her daily life, facing beauty standards and body dysmorphia. As she continues with her day, I see the signs of body dysmorphia and introduce my solution, which is to give out a hundred compliments a day. Giving out these compliments raises self esteem and helps prevent body dysmorphia. When people are compassionate towards one another, and themselves, this causes a chain reaction, changing the world. I can change the world by giving a hundred compliments a day.
