In 2021 the Art of health held a national health-themed competition calling on young people across the country to submit art entries on their understanding of health and well-being through music, drama and art. Of the 1 153 total entries received across all creative categories, 553 were art pieces.

Health topics explored included physical, mental, emotional, social, financial and spiritual wellbeing.

 

The 553 entry participants were then shortlisted into 12 finalists who took part in the second phase of the competition after receiving mentorship and the materials they needed to create their artwork.
