Express Yourself! Contest

This is the home page for the Express Yourself! Contest, which ran between February 1st and February 22nd 2012.

Photographs, drawings, paintings, etc were welcome.  They had to express an aspect of migraine, cluster headache, or chronic headache.  That could include, for example, a representation of a migraine aura, an example of how cluster has impacted your life, or a visual description of the pain of chronic daily headache.

For details of the contest, rules and prizes, see Headache and Migraine News.
