The Department for Public Health (DPH) is inviting school-age children across the Commonwealth to create and submit original artwork for a chance to win cash prizes in a tickborne disease prevention poster contest sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department. "I am excited to announce this poster contest spotlighting tickborne disease because this is a serious health problem facing Kentucky families," said Jeff Howard, M.D., commissioner of DPH. "I encourage all students to participate in this poster contest on tick bite prevention and I am looking forward to seeing how our students address this important topic creatively with their posters. I also would like to thank the Northern Kentucky Health Department for sponsoring this poster contest." Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade may submit a poster encouraging tick bite prevention during outdoor activities. Posters must include at least one of the following prevention methods:

DPH reserves the right to disqualify any entry for any reason. All posters become the property of DPH and may be used in future disease prevention campaigns.
