I'm not a youth, but I'd like to hopefully stir up some conversation
on here.

I think that the theme idea is great!
Shane, do you mean by having a poster contest?
I'm not sure what else could be done related to sportsmanship.

I was also thinking ahead to International - maybe the youth could
have a theme for that too. We are having an art contest right? Maybe
the art contest could reflect the theme each year. I know that
everyone gets pretty busy at the International, but some other
activities related to the theme could be planned as well. We used to
have stall decorating contests - the youth could do a decorating
contest related to the theme.

Back to the convention - this year's overall theme is "Lights, Camera,
Action" - maybe the youth should be encourage to dress like movie
stars for the meeting or movie(I don't know if it would be too late to
inform everyone though). Best Dressed could be featured in the magazine.

Just some thoughts.
