Why should people do this?

October is ADA (Anxiety and Depression Awareness) month, so it would be great to help raise awareness around mental health. When it comes to Mental health issues it can be a bit hard to think of what action to take...so I reckon mad pride is a great opportunity to do just that, take action! You'll be raising awareness, educating and informing!

And even if you don't enter, go to the event on the 3rd of November to check out everyone's performances! It'll be an awesome night!
