[Young Jennifer L]

Please post the flyer and pass this information to youth,  schools and community organizations. Thank you!

As part of public health week, the Northwest Health Foundation and the Oregon Public Health Division invite Oregon youth to reveal their perspective on health during the fifth annual "The Way I See It" youth photo contest.  The theme of this year's contest is Healthy Beginnings * Healthy Communities.

Oregon youth between the ages of 12 and 18 are eligible to submit photos exploring the interconnection between healthy beginnings and healthy communities.  In other words, how ensuring prevention early on - healthy babies, healthy children, healthy youth - is critical to ensuring good community health for everyone, and how communities themselves need to be "healthy" in order to ensure a healthy start for all.
Contest winners will be announced in mid- May, and will receive cash prizes ($300. first place, $200. second and $100. for third).
The contest begins on April 1st, and entries can be submitted until midnight on April 28th, 2013.  Complete contest rules and submission instructions can be found at www.nwhf.org/photocontest<http://www.nwhf.org/photocontest> .

See the attached flyer for more information.   Please share this flyer with youth and partners who work with youth.
