Nutifafa is an art competition themed around “Rest Round About,” calling youth to express peace, identity, and healing through visual storytelling. We aim to uplift creative voice and restore cultural pride.

You can support in any of the following ways, depending on your capacity and interest:

Duration: 30–60 mins

Topic ideas:

Finding your creative voice

Art as healing or cultural storytelling

How to talk about your work (artist statements, captions)

Composition, symbolism, or mixed media techniques

Record a short video or voice note about what “peace” or “identity” means to you as an artist

Share 1–2 quotes or behind-the-scenes stories we can post

Review 3–5 submissions (digitally) and give brief written or audio reflections

Optional: offer encouragement messages for finalists

Use our judging rubric (theme interpretation, originality, impact, technique)

Join a virtual discussion or submit scores by June 28

We respect your time. Most mentors will contribute 1–3 hours total between June 1–28. We’ll coordinate availability and give support materials in advance.
