The winner of the McHenry County Department of Health’s (MCDH) annual Billboard Design Contest is Megan Teresi, a senior from Woodstock High School, for her entry entitled ―Dear Mom, I love you, stop smoking!.
Also selected for community and school posters were Nate Prosser, Johnsburg High School and Jim Anderson, McHenry County College.
The contest sought to highlight local talent while educating the community of the health effects of smoking. Open to all McHenry County teens, designs were received under the following categories – tobacco prevention, secondhand smoke, and quit smoking. Entries were judged on originality, peer appeal, and simple, colorful design. Making the final selection were teens from Reality Illinois Anti-Tobacco Advocacy groups, members of the McHenry County ―Tobacco Free‖ Coalition and MCDH’s Health Promotion staff.
Billboards depicting the winning entry are being displayed throughout McHenry County. This project is made possible by funds received from the Illinois Department of Public Health. Visit www.mcdh.info for information on smoking cessation classes or call 815-334-4510.
