Gilda’s Club Westchester Presents: 2021 Teen Cancer Story Contest

Gilda’s Club Westchester is excited to announce the 2021 Teen Cancer Story Contest, open to teens (ages 13-17) in the Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County areas who want to share their story. We are looking for original, honest, detailed, and heartfelt multimedia submissions by local teens who have been impacted by cancer- whether it is their own diagnosis, a loved one’s diagnosis, or the loss of someone due to cancer. Submissions can be in the form of an essay, poetry, artwork, or video.

Cash prizes of $250 will be awarded to 1st place winners in each category. Runners-up will also be recognized for each category.

Submissions are due by 5pm on April 16, 2021.
