Houston Cares Foundation Gala & Houston Culture Contest Announced by Amber Lowe PR & Productions

🚨🚨 HOUSTON, BE ADVISED 🚨🚨

📢 Houston Culture CONTEST Campaign – Time for a New Era!This is more than a contest — this is HISTORY. Just like Houston Strong carried us through Harvey, we’re about to show the world that HOUSTON CARES 💜💚 … and no other city can do it like H-Town!

At Amber Lowe PR & Productions and Houston Cares Foundation, we feel compelled to launch this campaign not just to showcase Houston’s culture, but to create an amazing tagline for the Houston Cares Foundation — one that truly reflects the heart of our city.

Why now? Because Houston is the most diverse city in America, home to more than 100 languages and at least 94 consulates. 🌎 We are a global city. Yet, while diversity is our greatest strength, government budget cuts in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion programs remind us of something important: we can’t wait on the government to “bail us out.”

The truth is, crime, division, politics, racism, and hatred are threatening the city we love. Houston murders are out of control, and this is not the Houston many of us grew up in. But as Houstonians, we know how to come together, and we know how to lead by example. 💪

✨ This campaign is our call to unity. It’s about using creativity, culture, and storytelling to build a visible, viral movement that shows the world our strength, diversity, and collaboration.

👉 Here’s how YOU can be part of it:

1️⃣ Pick one category from the list below.

2️⃣ Record a one-minute video telling us why Houston is the best in that category.

3️⃣ If possible, film on location (at the restaurant, stadium, business, park, or landmark you’re talking about).

4️⃣ Post it to your page with the hashtag #HoustonCulture #HoustonCares #HTownPride #Houston2026

and tag us so we can find it!

We are officially taking up the torch TOGETHER as one city 💪🏽💚 … to create the 2026 Theme for Houston AND the official tagline for the Houston Cares Foundation!
