Think outside the proverb - Οur 2025 students’ contest!

Proverbs are everywhere—offering advice, telling stories, and reminding us of timeless truths. But what if we flipped those familiar sayings?

Our 2025 student contest dares students to take a traditional proverb and twist it. Through personal expression and creativity, students are asked to reinvent proverbs and get the chance to turn something old into something bold!

We’re inviting students to:

Take a well-known proverb,
Add a personal twist or interpretation,
Express that idea through a unique piece of artwork!
