Worth Repeating is a live storytelling event at the Irma and Emilio Nicolas Media Center at Texas Public Radio in downtown San Antonio. Showtime is 7:30pm. Tickets benefit Texas Public Radio.

The Texas Mental Health Creative Arts Contest 2026 invites Texans of all ages to reflect on their mental health and share what it means to them through creative expression.

Hosted by the Texas Institute for Excellence in Mental Health, this statewide contest is open to all Texas residents—from elementary students to adults. Participants are invited to respond to the theme “What Does Mental Health Mean to You?” through traditional art, digital art, photography, or writing.

Mental health is shaped by personal experiences, culture, and community. By encouraging creative reflection, the contest creates space for people to tell their stories, explore emotional well-being, and contribute to broader conversations about mental health across Texas. Submissions may address topics such as stress, healing, resilience, relationships, or everyday moments that influence mental well-being.

Selected works may be featured in virtual and in-person galleries, offering opportunities for learning, connection, and public dialogue.

Eligibility: Open to all Texas residents, youth and adults
Submission period: January 15 – March 31, 2026

The Governor's Community Achievement Awards (GCAA) recognize Texas communities that are turning ideas into measurable impact through environmental stewardship, beautification, and collaboration. From small towns to larger cities, past winners have used this program to strengthen partnerships, elevate local projects, and tell a compelling story about their community's work.

Applications are now open and close on March 12. Visit the GCAA webpage to explore past winners, see what makes a strong application, and learn how your community can get involved.
