At Free2Luv, we’re passionate about supporting underrepresented and diverse creative voices by sharing their innermost thoughts, experiences, and perspectives through art. Since 2011, we have been at the forefront of addressing the youth mental health crisis, harnessing the transformative power of the arts to foster self-expression, healing, and resilience for marginalized young people.

We’re excited to present, in collaboration with Seattle Pride, our 2nd annual “Queer Joy Amplified” Art Contest! The 2025 theme is LOUDER, and this year’s contest is going to be bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever, with amazing prize packages!

We want to see what Queer and Trans joy means to YOU! Now through June 30, 2025, share your art and be part of a diverse community of creative voices celebrating individuality and our collective joy!
