Here are some upcoming opportunities for young AAPIs to creatively plug into the topic of civic engagement. Starting tomorrow until next week, APIAVote is teaming up with Amplify Asian America and NCAPA to host our first ever Whatever Floats Your Vote: Art for Activism Create-a-Thon! Read on for details and check out the website and Facebook page for updates!
🤔 WHAT IS A CREATE-A-THON?
Our Create-A-Thon is a chance to bring together young AAPIs to put forth their creative energy towards a common purpose. In our case, that is civic engagement and community activation! The Create-A-Thon is a friendly competition for creations in five 🖐 categories: IG image post, short-form writing (think tweets), TikTok/reel, meme, and misc (mixed media/other creative forms of expression). Participants will have one week to create, and our panel of judges will select two winners from each category at the end of the week! We have a variety of awesome prizes from AAPI-owned businesses – check out our website for specifics!
