MEDIA, PA — On behalf of the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health, Division of Drug and Alcohol, Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems is excited to announce the 23rd annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Awareness Student Poster Contest, a county-wide contest for all Delaware County students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. The goal of this contest is to encourage all students to value healthy lifestyles and think about the consequences of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. This tradition is a wonderful way to reinforce school’s prevention programming by involving students in a county-wide effort. Also, students who create winning posters will receive a savings bond of up to $200!
Thank you to all the schools/organizations who submitted posters for the 2010 poster contest! Over 1,000 posters were submitted from over 40 schools/community organizations! Following the submission deadline, which is Monday, March 7, 2011, fifteen winning posters will be cumulatively chosen by health professionals and community members during the month of March through a voting system. In Mid-April, the Awards Ceremony will be conducted for the fifteen winners during a County Council Meeting at the Delaware County Government Center in Media, where each student winner will be recognized by County Council Members, representatives of the Office of Behavioral Health, and by Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems. In early July, each winner will be mailed their U.S. Federal Savings bond award, which range in denomination from $75 to $200.
The winning posters, along with headshots of the winning students, will be featured in the 2012 Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Awareness Calendar, which is distributed county-wide.
