Made in Montana: Our Stories Told Our Way
A Student-led Public Health Art Campaign
We are thrilled to launch our new student-led public health art campaign, Made in Montana: Our Stories Told Our Way!
This art campaign aims to elevate the voices of students and give them a platform to share their stories and experiences through art.
Every community is unique, and we want to hear what your students are passionate about, what challenges your community faces, and what successes you would like to celebrate. Students are invited to show us a story of health in your community - your way.
Think beyond doctors, hospitals, and healthcare. What people, places, traditions, environments, or ideas help your community stay healthy?
Any Montana K-12 student is eligible to enter. There will be two submission categories:
- Art Showcase (non-judged, participation guarantees entry to showcase)
- Deadline: May 28, 2027
- Art Exhibition (judged, participation does not guarantee entry to exhibition)
- The Art Exhibition submissions will be divided into two categories: submissions from those under the age of 14 and submissions from those over the age of 14.
- Deadline: February 12, 2027
The Guidance Document provides additional details about the project as well as a What is Public Health? info sheet.
Students should follow this link with a parent or guardian to learn more and to express their interest. This will also add them to our mailing list to receive check in emails and updates as we approach the exhibition and showcase deadlines.
This art campaign was funded in part by the Montana Healthcare Foundation. The Montana Public Health Training Center is solely responsible for the statements and conclusions in this campaign.
