In the Spotlight

Public Health Photo Contest!

To build on Public Health Thank You Day, NACCHO is launching a photo contest starting November 21 and ending December 21! Participate and promote the public health work you do by taking a creative picture of the public health logo that reflects public health in action.

Print the logo out and take a picture of it in an unexpected place. Or find the logo around the workplace and take a picture of it that says a thousand words. Be as creative as you can and submit as many photos as you like. Please provide a caption that gives the photo context. Submissions will be in a Facebook photo album, selected photos will appear on NACCHO’s Twitter feed and possibly on the homepage. A winner will be selected after the contest closes.

If you need more information about the public health logo and terms of usage, please click here. Please send submissions to web@naccho.org. By participating in this contest, participants agree that NACCHO can use their submitted photos.
