Hopeful Horizons: Climate Storytelling Contest
Presented by Creative Colloquy in partnership with the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.
How do you stay hopeful in the face of climate change? What does resilience look like in your community?
Creative Colloquy and the City of Tacoma’s Health Department invite Tacoma residents to take part in Hopeful Horizons: Climate Storytelling Contest, a celebration of creativity, community, and climate resilience.
Building on our earlier Climate Stories partnership, this project invites you to reflect on community-created climate art and respond with your own short, expressive piece.
Use the artwork provided as your inspiration and share your creative response in one of these forms:
6-word stories
Short slogans, taglines, or micro-poems
Rhyming jingles or hopeful phrases
Think of bite-sized expressions of hope and action, messages that capture optimism, resilience, and connection, ready to be shared across social media.

(4) standout submissions will each receive a $100 gift card
(5) honorable mentions will each receive a $25 gift card
Winning entries will be:
