Rabies Prevention Poster Contest
The Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Disease program at the Arizona
Department of Health invites you to participate in a poster contest...
Poster submissions should suggest ways to prevent rabies
infections. The best way to do that is to remind students which
animals are most likely to have rabies in Arizona (bats, skunks,
foxes), to NOT touch bats or other wild animals, vaccinate their
dogs and cats for rabies, and to keep dogs on a leash when not
at home.
More information on rabies can be found at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention "Just for Kids" rabies webpage
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/kidsrabies/, and the Arizona
Department of Health Services rabies webpage
http://www.azdhs.gov/phs/oids/vector/rabies/index.htm.
Content and materials must be original.
Posters must be on unlined paper and be at least 8.5 x 11",
and may not exceed 11 x 17".
Posters with artwork and text drawn with smooth, distinct
edges are more likely to be selected.
All Arizona residents 16 years old and younger are eligible
to participate.
An entry form (see below) must be attached to each poster.
Judging will take place on or before October 31, 2007.
