Create a photo or TikTok video around something you love to do. Almost any activity we do involves some form of literacy. If you like to cook, this involves food literacy, if you like yoga, this is physical  literacy, if you like music, this is musical literacy, if you like to grow vegetables or flowers, this requires knowledge of plants and growing conditions (gardening literacy), if you like to dance, this is cultural literacy (every culture has a unique dance style). Be creative and create a photo or video, which inspires others to vote for your entry!
