On behalf of the
Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health, Division of Drug and Alcohol
Programs, Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems is excited to announce the
25th annual Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Awareness Student Poster
Contest, a countywide contest for all Delaware County students in grades
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
countywide effort.
Thank you to all the
schools/organizations who submitted posters for the 2012 poster contest!
Over 1,000 posters were received!
Following the
submission deadline, which is Monday, March 4, 2013, fifteen
winning posters will be cumulatively chosen by health professionals and
the public through a voting system. In April, the Awards Ceremony will be
conducted for the fifteen winners during a County Council Meeting at the
Delaware County Government Center in Media. Each student winner
will be recognized by County Council Members, representatives of the
Office of Behavioral Health, and by Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems.
Following the awards ceremony, each winner will be mailed their VISA
Giftcard award, which range in denomination from $75 to $200. The winning
posters, along with headshots of the winning students, will be featured
in the 2014 Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Awareness Calendar.
This year's poster
contest deadline is Monday, March 4, 2013.
This program is
coordinated by Holcomb Behavioral Health Systems Prevention &
Education and funded by the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health,
Division of Drug & Alcohol Services.
