If you are a child or youth in Nashville, we need your help and your vision!

The Mayor’s Office and the Task Force of the Child and Youth Master Plan are seeking the input and
creative vision of Nashville’s children and youth to help Nashville become the best city in the United States
for children and youth.

We are seeking all forms of creative writing, essays, poetry, and two-dimensional artwork (drawing, painting,
photography, etc.) to help answer the following question:

If Nashville were the perfect place for you to grow up, what would it look like?

As you consider your answer, think about what kinds of opportunities you might have, what kind of people
would be around you, what kind of support you would have, what role you would play in the community and
anything else that would be part of your ideal Nashville.

Think BIG and DREAM BIG and share your vision for Nashville with us!

Submissions will be included in the Mayor’s Child and Youth Master Plan.
