ANNAPOLIS, MD — Anne Arundel County health officials have launched a Well-Being Selfie Contest, so share a photo of you taking care of yourself or others and you could win a prize.

Winter began Dec. 21, and so did Anne Arundel County's Winter Wonderland of Well-Being Selfie Contest. The social media contest, an initiative of the County’s Department of Health and Mental Health Agency, encourages everyone to make healthy improvements in their physical, mental and spiritual well-being and perform acts of kindness.

The contest, which is open through Jan. 4, is open to any Maryland resident who lives, works or attends school in Anne Arundel County. Using the hashtag #BeWellAA, participants are encouraged to take a selfie of one of the daily mind, body, spirit or kindness activities.

“Finding little ways to have fun through physical activity and being kind to yourself and others can promote positive change in our overall well-being,” said Anne Arundel County Health Officer Nilesh Kalyanaraman, M.D. “Join the fun and snap a selfie.”
