Monday is the deadline for entries into the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) poster contest.
According to a US Embassy press release the contest is focused on the theme ‘Working Together to Fight AIDS’. It is a voluntary activity seeking to involve youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS through self-expression. Each entry must be accompanied by a completed application form.
Winners will be selected by online voting and the winning piece of artwork from each of the three age groups: ages five to nine, 10 to 15 and 16-20, will receive a netbook and certificate, signed by Ambassador Eric Goody, US Global AIDS Coordinator.
Local winners will be announced on March 31 and the winning entries will be highlighted through poster shows, press releases, website features and exhibits. The top entries will also be included in a global contest where the top entry in each age group will receive a backpack of art supplies. The global winners will be announced by April 29.
