UAB Wellness Promotion’s Creativity for a Cause has extended submission deadlines until March 18, 2024. Students can share their emotions, experiences, and relationships with sexual violence through their chosen art form. All forms of creative expression are accepted: poetry, spoken word, song, monologue, dance, film, drawing, painting, and more. 

Winners will receive a prize and their piece will have the opportunity to be highlighted at Wellness Promotion’s annual Take Back the Night event. This internationally recognized event inspires survivors to confront their relationship with sexual violence while bringing awareness and education to college campuses.

Participants may remain anonymous, even if their submission is selected for Take Back the Night. More information about this event can be found in the submission guidelines.
