While mugging for your exams, was there something that you told yourself, you would definitely do if you had the chance?
It probably went along the lines of:
”Ah, I need to finish mugging for (insert exam here), if only I didn’t have to, I really want to try (dancing/singing/drawing/juggling, etc.)… Maybe during the holidays. I can’t wait for the holidays!”
But with the onset of the holidays, you decided to sleep, sleep some more, and sleep until you got a headache from sleeping too much, forgetting entirely about what you told yourself while slogging away at your exam notes.
What’s the point of my bringing this up, you ask?
Well, here’s something that might motivate you to finally do what you’ve always wanted to do. How does a $500 prize sound? (What’s a better motivation than money, after all?)
The Julia Gabriel Centre for learning is holding their annual Express Your Best Self contest for the third year running. And this year, it’s open to everyone.
“I don’t think I’m artsy enough,” you might be thinking.
But this year, unlike previous contests, there are three categories:

•Performance Arts – Dance, Song, Music, Presentation, Drama, Mime, Stand-up comedy, Puppetry, Juggling, etc
• Visual Arts – Fine art, Graphics, Design, Multimedia, Photography, etc
• Literary Arts – Creative writing: Poetry/Prose, Factual writing, News article, etc
