The General Directorate of Mental Health of the Regional Ministry of Health has launched the fourth edition of the Children’s Story Contest focused on mental health and emotional well-being. This initiative aims to promote awareness and understanding from an early age, encouraging the submission of stories addressed to children aged six to eight. The deadline for entries is March 29.

The competition is structured into three age categories: children (8 to 12 years), youth (13 to 17 years), and adults (18 years and above). Each category includes specific length requirements and awards winners with book collections and age-appropriate materials. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not previously distributed in any format, including digital platforms, nor created using artificial intelligence tools, ensuring genuine authorship and creative integrity.
