Help us celebrate 35 years of Issues!
In honour of our 35th anniversary, we’re giving students the exciting opportunity to have their work published in Issues books and Issues Online.
The Competition
We’re asking students to reflect on the question:
Writing Competition: Winner to be Published in our Issues book Health for Teens in 2025!
"What does self-care mean to me?"
There’s no one right answer, and we encourage students to interpret the topic in their own way. Whether it’s exploring the importance of self-care, sharing personal tips on maintaining physical or mental health, discussing how society views self-care, or offering a unique perspective on the subject, we want to hear it all!
Word count: 500-1000 words
