The theme for the competition is ‘Reach Out’, which aims to encourage children to reach out to peers struggling with bullying and adults in their lives who can support them in tackling it.
The Creative Arts competition is a big part of the annual Anti-Bullying Week initiative and allows entrants to express the chosen anti-bullying theme through many art forms.
