Tomorrow Project & Burlington City Hall Exhibit
As part of our Tomorrow Project, and with our partners at Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO), YWP teens created powerful writing and art around a series of challenges on community, human rights, democracy and ethics. Contest award winners and honorable mentions will be on display at Burlington City Hall, 149 Church St., Burlington, VT, April 21-May 31. Visitors to the exhibit will be invited to vote on a People’s Choice award, and see excerpts from the writing, printed with hand-set type on a hand-operated letterpress with illustrations by local artists, thanks to A Revolutionary Press, a nonprofit letterpress studio in New Haven, VT. See the CVOEO calendar listing for more information.

THE TOMORROW PROJECT: Every month, the Tomorrow Project introduces thought-provoking writing and visual art prompts on a range of topics from human rights to the banning of books. The Tomorrow Project is about civic engagement, having a voice on the issues that matter, and finding ways to move forward with resilience and optimism. There will be six grand prizes of $250 in October 2025, at the completion of the project's first phase, followed by more challenges and opportunities to engage, publish, and exhibit.
