The Sun Safety Poster Contest is back! 😎 This could also make a really awesome 4-H project for the fair!

Only posters that are hand-drawn or produced with software such as Canva or PowerPoint in JPG or PNG files types will be accepted. All entries must be digitally uploaded on the North Dakota Cancer Coalition website; no mailed or emailed entries will be accepted.

Posters will be judged in two age divisions: pr***en (ages 8 to 12) and teen (ages 13 to 19). Posters will be judged on their general appearance and how well they present messages about sun safety. Winners in both age divisions will receive $75 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place.
