Youth Anti-Tobacco Multi-Media Contest in Full Swing

The Youth Anti-Tobacco Multi-Media Contest is in full swing. The program is designed as a multi-media contest to get youth engaged in fighting tobacco marketing. The contest was the creation of the DOH Let’s Face It youth initiative, called AirO₂Dynamic.

A recent report from the Federal Trade Commission shows that tobacco companies still spend nearly $10 billion annually advertising their products in the U.S.

Middle and high school-aged youth throughout St. Louis County are encouraged to “Share the Truth about Tobacco” by submitting contest entries in the following categories:

1) Video

2) Photography

3) Digital Art

4) Poetry/Lyrics

First-place winners will receive an iPad, second-place will receive an iPod nano, and third-place will receive a digital camcorder.
