IPUL Mental Health Awareness Sticker Contest
đź’šMay is Mental Health Awareness Month đź’š
It’s a time to reduce stigma and remind every young person that their feelings matter and they are NOT alone.
IPUL believes that one of the most powerful ways to do that is by lifting up youth voice… and turning it into something visible, shareable, and impactful.
🎉We are excited to announce that the
IPUL Mental Health Awareness Sticker Contest is LIVE
✨ Theme: “You Belong in This Story” ✨
This is more than a contest, it’s a chance for students to express their voice, their feelings, and their story through art.
đź“… Key Dates:
• Design period: happening NOW
• Submissions open: May 1 – (You will be able to submit your sticker design below starting then)

💡 Need ideas? Here’s how different age groups can think about their design:
Elementary (K–5):
Draw what feelings look like or what it means to belong
Examples:
• “It’s okay to feel sad, mad, or scared”
• “Name it to tame it”
Middle School (6–8):
Show that big emotions are part of everyone’s story
Examples:
• “You’re not the only one who feels this way”
• “It’s okay to not be okay”
High School (9–12):
Focus on mental health awareness, resilience, and speaking up
Examples:
- “Your feelings are real”
- “You are not alone”
- “Mental health is health”
A few important design tips:
✔️ Keep it original (no copyrighted characters or logos)
✔️ Keep words simple and easy to read
✔️ Think small — designs should fit in a 3” circle
✔️ Make it appropriate for all ages
