In the run up to the US presidential election, we want to encourage young people to use their voice through voting and engaging with democracy. Many young people feel that politics isn’t something they can engage in, often because they don’t feel represented or they feel disconnected from the way politics works. Encouraging young people to engage requires particularly eye-catching, informative and accessible content to overcome these barriers. This is why we re-launched our social media content competition ahead of the USA presidential election in partnership with VoiceBox, asking creatives from around the world to respond to the question 'Why vote?' and create an impactful piece of content encouraging voter registration and participation from young people, many of whom will be eligible to vote for the first time. Open to anyone from anywhere - aged 17+ and in full time education, or graduated in the past 3 years. #WHYVOTE USA aims to boost political participation and educate young people on the power of their vote through creativity. For this competition we were looking for talented content creators who want to have their voices heard, around the importance of voting and democracy - with cash prizes / media exposure for doing so. See a few of the striking submissions we received in our blog: https://www.creative-conscience.org.uk/news/empowering-the-future-of-politics-with-creativity-why-vote-usa We are currently rolling-out and spotlighting some of our favourite submissions on our social media platforms, so keep an eye out on our socials for some of our favourite picks.
