One of the call-outs is for peer to peer art inspired by #DouglassWeek.
There is no art form off limits so feel free to send in painting, prose, poetry, spoken word, crafts, dance, song - the options are limitless.
They are looking for is your authentic voice:

Are you aware of its presence in your life? Or not?
What could the future look like without racism?
You can take any perspective you like and they can’t wait to see what you create!
