2023 Contest Winners

Hosted by Strengthening the Heartland, the Healthy Decision-Making Art Contest gives youth across the Dakota’s the opportunity to share their art.

Youth were prompted to create art that represented what healthy decision-making meant to them. We start each day making a decision to get out of bed. From there, we are confronted with a variety of opportunities to exercise the decision-making portion of our brain. Some decisions we make are cause for little thought, while others force us to pause and consider where we should go from here.

In response, we received a myriad of creative submissions including illustration, drawing, and painting. Submissions were judged based on criteria craftsmanship, originality, and interpretation of the topic.
