The Flaunt It Award, developed in collaboration with Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It and supported by Don’t Hide It, Flaunt It (DHIFI, Inc), RBC Foundation USA, Morgan Stanley, and HP, recognizes teens who look or feel different from their peers and share their personal story about what makes them unique.

The Flaunt It Award includes two $2,000 scholarships (one for art and one for writing) for teens and a $500 cash award for their educator. Winners will be selected based on their outstanding exploration of DHIFI’s theme: “The things that make me different make me, me.”
