A youth poster contest has been launched by Interior Health for youth living in the Interior Region.
The contest is called Take a Breath: Teen Voices on Tobacco & Vaping and it will be asking youths enrolled in in grades 8 to 12 to give their perspective on the issue by submitting an original artwork in the form of a poster in one of five themes.
The themes that Interior Health is looking to see include important facts about smoking and vaping; the importance of ceremonial tobacco; strategies used by tobacco and vaping companies to promote their products; how these products impact teens’ lives; and the environmental impact of tobacco and vaping.
This contest was developed by the Tobacco and Vapour Reduction Team at IH and some teens from the McCreary Centre Society, who will also serve as judges in selecting the contest winners.
