Eligibility. This contest is open to students currently enrolled in Grades 1–12 at a school in the San Diego, CA area. Each student may submit one entry.
Original Work. All submitted artwork must be original and created solely by the entering student. Artwork must not infringe on any third-party copyrights, trademarks, or intellectual property rights. AI-generated artwork is not eligible.
Theme Requirement. Submissions must reflect this year's contest theme: "You Belong Here: Art for Every Voice." Entries that do not connect to the theme may be disqualified at the judges' discretion.

Image Requirements. Physical artwork must be submitted as a high-resolution photograph or scan (minimum 300 DPI). Digital artwork must be submitted as a JPG or PNG file. Blurry, dark, or low-resolution images may be disqualified.
Entry Fee. A non-refundable $5 entry fee is required per submission. Fees support MGB's Tool Kit Program, which provides free art therapy resources to students in San Diego.
Parental Consent. Because this contest is open to minors, a parent or guardian must complete the entry on the student's behalf or provide consent. By submitting, the parent or guardian confirms they have reviewed and agree to these terms.
Use of Artwork. By entering, you grant My Good Brain a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, and promote the submitted artwork in connection with the contest, including on MGB's website, social media channels, and at exhibition events. Full ownership of the artwork remains with the student.
Exhibition. Winning artworks will be displayed at MGB's Creative Studio at Liberty Station during Mental Health Awareness Month (May 2026). MGB may display digital reproductions of winning entries online.
Judging. All entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by MGB. Judging decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
