The Creating Period Pride competition encourages Australia's youth to submit creative, thought-provoking content that aims to remove the shame and stigma associated with having a period.
Say buh-bye to period shame
Make something that makes a difference
We believe creative thinking drives discovery and learning. We hope that by approaching the social issues surrounding menstruation with creativity we can create an awareness of stigmas, encourage empathy and ultimately be part of the solution.
This year, your Period Pride entry must fit into one of the following categories: A video/short film, a performed song, an artwork, a major art installation, or a written piece.
Need some insipiration? Check out some of our favourite 2022 and 2023 entries.
When your group has finished getting creative you can email your finished product to periodpride@sharethedignity.org.au by midnight AEST on October 14th 2024 to enter the competition!

Why is period pride important?
In 2021 we published the Bloody Big Survey report showing the social, personal and financial impact of periods on Australians.
It received 125,000 responses, which makes it the world's largest data collection on attitudes and experiences of menstruation.
The report data indicates girls are starting their period younger than ever, and that 48 per cent of respondents have missed out on school or sport due to their period.
What's worse is that 22 per cent of respondents have had to improvise on period products due to being unable to afford them.
Period poverty is a big issue which doesn't have easy solutions. Amongst other things, it requires tangible change to attitudes surrounding periods.
We are advocates for education and destigmatisation around menstruation, and while we don't have all the solutions when it comes to these big issues, we have faith in our future leaders and changemakers. That's why we want YOU to get involved and show us what it means to be period proud.
The first step towards change is education
New to all this? The first 100 new schools and community groups to register for our 2024 Creating Period Pride competition will be sent a Period Pride toolkit
The Creating Period Pride toolkit includes everything needed to get young people talking about periods and removing the shame and stigma around periods.
The pack will get students well on their way to creating media that will change the way we think about periods.
So what are you waiting for, register now! We are so excited to create period pride with you.
