Calling all youth! The “More to Life” Photo Contest is officially open!

What does living your best life look like? Capture a real moment, activity, person, place, or goal that shows there is more to life than ni****ne.

You do not need to v**e or have ever v**ed to participate; this contest is open to all youth!

Enter for a chance to win a Nintendo Switch Lite, GoPro, Beats, or iPods. Winning photos may also be featured with credit in our Life Over Va**ng campaign!

Parent/Guardian Permission: A signed permission form is not required to enter the contest; however, we encourage all youth to receive verbal permission from a parent or guardian before participating. If selected as a winner, the youth must submit a completed parent/guardian media release form before their photo can be used in the campaign.

How to Enter:

Scan the QR code on the flyer below to upload your photo and complete the entry form. We can’t wait to see the moments, people, places, and goals that make your life meaningful!

Aurora Partners for Thriving Youth (APTY), alongside our community partners, has been hard at work addressing youth va**ng and ni****ne use. Now is the moment for our community to show up.

To***co Retail Licensing (TRL) is a proven, common-sense policy that strengthens enforcement, holds retailers accountable, and reduces illegal sales to minors, without targeting responsible businesses.

That’s why we are asking you to PACK THE CHAMBER in support of To***co Retail Licensing. When community members, parents, educators, youth, and health professionals show up together, decision-makers listen. Your presence sends a powerful message: Aurora cares about protecting youth, supporting healthy choices, and creating safer neighborhoods.

Please consider attending, sharing this message, and encouraging others to come. Whether you’ve spoken at council before or this is your first time, your voice matters—and it makes a difference.

Please RSVP here so we can share updates and plan accordingly.

Let’s stand together, show our collective strength, and advocate for policies that truly protect Aurora’s kids.
