Youth Safety Multi-Media Competition 2024 - enter your project - Camden Rise

Camden's annual Youth Safety Multi-Media Competition aims to raise awareness of the issues affecting the safety of young people in Camden and encourage young people to come together and think about their concerns, aspirations and hopes for the future.

This year's competition is being run as part of Camden's Youth Celebration Week, which will be held from 2 to 6 December 2024.
