YOUTH LEADERSHIP
Student Artwork
The BOOST Student Hall of Fame features student artwork from all over the globe and is a magnificent display of visual arts (physical and digital art pieces) to share with over 3,500 global educators throughout the conference. Seeing the artwork and walking through the gallery reminds us of why we do this work and celebrates the incredible talent that we see in our youth every day. We would love to highlight the amazing and creative work of your students.

Physical artwork submissions can include:

- Written word: stories, poems, prose, etc.
- A student idea (as long as it fits on a 22” x 28” inch poster board).
