Roslyn Middle School student Navya Gupta won first place for her age group in the Erase the Stigma Creative Art Contest, sponsored by the Northwell School of Mental Health.
The theme of the art contest was “Positive Messages for Mental Health.” Its purpose was to highlight mental health as an essential part of overall health and provide a creative space for students to share their voices.
“Mental health awareness is so important, especially after what we all endured during the pandemic,” said guidance counselor Corrine Decker. “Navya Gupta’s artwork was original and impressive. I’m so delighted to see her earn this honor.”
The artwork was judged on originality, creativity and how well it expressed the contest theme. Winners from each age group received prizes and had their work displayed during the award ceremony.
