Empower Trip Wraps Up DesignQuest: An Arts and Innovation Challenge for Teens
Empower Trip LLP, a, leader in educational innovation and student empowerment, is proud to announce the successful completion of DesignQuest, a statewide art and design challenge for teens. This visionary project inspired students to explore the theme of social change through art, inviting them to use their creativity as a catalyst for community impact.
What Is DesignQuest?
DesignQuest is more than just an art competition — it’s a call to action for the next generation of creators. Launched by Empower Trip LLP, the program was designed to give middle and high school students a platform to express their ideas, identities, and visions for a better world through visual storytelling.
From concept sketches to digital designs, murals, and mixed media installations, students submitted work that reflected personal experiences, global issues, and solutions for positive change. The submissions were judged by professional artists, educators, and industry experts, providing an authentic and meaningful experience for participants.
Celebrating Student Creativity and Voice
This year’s DesignQuest brought together young artists from all over New Jersey, highlighting the incredible depth of talent and passion in our school communities. Winning entries were recognized for both artistic skill and message clarity — proving that when students are empowered with purpose, their creativity knows no bounds.
Top student winners were recognized by Teen Arts NJ at their festival, and received certificates, prizes, and spotlight recognition, helping them build confidence and future portfolios.
Why DesignQuest Matters
At Empower Trip, we believe that student voice matters. DesignQuest was created to:
- Foster creative problem-solving and innovation
- Encourage youth to engage with social issues through the arts
- Support career exploration in design, communication, and digital media
- Build confidence and community among young change-makers
DesignQuest is aligned with Empower Trip’s mission to deliver transformational educational experiences that empower students, educators, and communities.
What’s Next?
After the success of DesignQuest, Empower Trip is already preparing for the next wave of student-led initiatives. Plans are underway to expand DesignQuest into additional states and schools.
