Youth Council launch ‘Keep Positive’ campaign

Bathurst Regional Youth Council has launched a ‘Keep Positive’ campaign to provide young people some enjoyment and entertainment during the lockdown through an online competition.

The competition consists of two categories asking participants to submit a painting, digital artwork or sketch for category one or a short fictional story, non-fictional story or poetry for the category two. Entries can be submitted online through Council’s website.

Mayor Ian North said the competition starts today and will run through to October 29.

“There are twelve Buy Local Gift cards with a value of $50 each to be awarded to the best entries in each category based on age groups, he said.”

“During this challenging time, it is important to stay engaged and this Youth Council initiative is a wonderful way to stay positive while showcasing the talent and skills of our city’s young people.”
