#CreateForUNICEF: Staying Apart, but Together in Heart
#CreateForUNICEF
When: Virtually Now-Nov 1, 2020Where: Social MediaLive Event & Competition Awards: Nov 19th, 4.30pmGenerously supported by the Levant Foundation!During these difficult times, #CreateForUNICEF offers a way for individuals to channel their energy positively by using creativity to produce something and dedicate it to young people in the world. We hope to flood social media with 'ARTivisms', a creative expression in which the artist attaches a message to inspire others to pursue their dreams, to spread positivity or to raise awareness of an issue. We recognize that creativity can manifest itself in many forms: fashion, painting, drawing, coloring, singing, dancing, writing, and even cooking. We welcome all types of submissions from all skill levels, as long as they are accompanied by a positive message for young people in the world.
Ultimately, we plan to select some of these submissions to be presented in the #CreateForUNICEF fest, an event to be held virtually on Dec 11th, 2020 at 4.30pm. The fest that celebrates the variety and diversity of talents present throughout the Houston community and especially Houston youth. At this year's virtual fest, selected creative expressions submitted on social media from all over the world as part of the #CreateForUNICEF initiative will be featured and awarded.

HOW TO HELP
There are many ways to make a difference
War, famine, poverty, natural disasters — threats to the world's children keep coming. But UNICEF won't stop working to keep children healthy and safe.
UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories — more places than any other children's organization. UNICEF has the world's largest humanitarian warehouse and, when disaster strikes, can get supplies almost anywhere within 72 hours. Constantly innovating, always advocating for a better world for children, UNICEF works to ensure that every child can grow up healthy, educated, protected and respected.
Would you like to help give all children the opportunity to reach their full potential? There are many ways to get involved.
