<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face=Calibri><STRONG>Now is the time to begin planning!</STRONG> We encourage all of you who work with directly youth, schools and/or local public health to think about how to encourage young people within your communities to participate in the contest. For example, Photography and Health teachers may decide to work the contest into their lesson plans. Public Health agencies may use the contest as a youth empowerment project within their community. (See the attachment for more ideas).</FONT></FONT></DIV>
