McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) has
announced its annual Anti-Tobacco Media Design Contest for McHenry County high
school and college students. Since 2004, the contest has sought to
highlight local talent while educating the community of the ill health effects
of smoking and secondhand smoke. Students can work as individuals or as
partners. The theme this year is “the cost of smoking”. Contest
rules and entry forms are available on the MCDH website (www.mcdh.info). Entry deadline is Friday,
November 30th.
Entries are judged on originality, peer appeal, and
simple, colorful design. Making the final selection are teens from
Anti-Tobacco Advocacy groups and MCDH’s Health Promotion staff. Winning
entries will have the student’s name, design and school name displayed on
billboards and community posters throughout McHenry County. Past winners
have included students from the following schools – Woodstock High School,
Johnsburg High School, Marengo Community High School, Crystal Lake Central High
School, Woodstock North High School, Cary Grove High School, McHenry County
College and Crystal Lake South High School.
This project was made possible by funds received from
the Illinois Department of Public Health. For more information
