Winners of the 2nd Annual To***co and Its Impact in My Community Photo Contest

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), California To***co Control Program (CTCP) is very excited to announce the winners of the 2nd annual “To***co and Its Impact in My Community” photo contest! In our continued effort for California’s Winnable Battle: Finish the Fight Against To***co, the purpose of the photo contest was to promote awareness of how the presence of to***co is still a problem in our state. Our goal was to showcase images submitted by Californians that “tell the story” about to***co control issues that significantly impact youth and disadvantaged communities.

A special thank you to Sutter Express Care, a program of Sutter Health who provided $1,000 in cash prizes to the winning photo entries.

Winners and photos are exhibited online at:
