Call for Submissions for the Health Equity Reflections Contest – Due May 7th

Are you passionate about health equity and engaged in community settings where you are seeking to address health disparities?  Do you enjoy expressing yourself through art, music, film, poetry, photography, or other creative forms?

If so, this is your chance to enter a submission into the Health Equity Reflections Contest, which encourages you to combine your passions and share your reflections with a broader audience!

Submissions Due May 7th at 5pm

How it works:

• We’ve got prizes!  The top three winners will each receive $250 of funding which can be utilized to support attendance at a health equity themed conference OR put toward supporting a health equity focused student group initiative.
• Contestants should be prepared to present their submission at the Health Sciences Service Learning and Advocacy Summit on May 19th between 6-8 in the Rotunda.  Dinner will be provided.
• Submissions must focus in some way on your personal engagements with health equity focused service learning, advocacy, or organizing.
• Please be conscientious of patient or client confidentiality in your reflections.
• Be creative! As long as you can figure out a way to share your reflection with us, we’re open to all forms of expression.

How to enter:

• Fill out and submit the catalyst survey below by May 7th at 5pm: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/caldweka/269042
• Put the HSSLA Summit on your calendar.
• Wait for notification from the Summit Subcommittee about the status of your entry.
• If selected, plan to share your entry at the Summit.

Because being a future health professional doesn’t mean relinquishing your humanity, sense of justice, or creativity!
