About the Contest
National Recovery Month, which is celebrated in September every year, is approaching soon. In preparation, King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division (BHRD) has announced its Recovery Art and Poetry Contest. This year’s theme is “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community.”
The contest is open to adults, youth, and family members who are currently participating in King County’s publicly funded behavioral healthcare system or have participated in King County’s publicly funded mental health or substance use treatment system in the past.
Winners of both the art and poetry contests will receive a prize and their work may be showcased in King County publications and/or events. Winning entries will be those that best express the theme.
Please share this announcement with your networks!
