Broome County Health Department is hosting a photo and art contest!
What makes a neighborhood healthy?
Is it green space to think or friendly people next door? A safe street to play on and clean air to breathe? Sidewalks with enough room for strollers, runners, and dog walkers? There are many different ways that a place can be healthy.
Broome County Health Department is holding a photo and art contest to find out what a healthy neighborhood means to YOU!
How can you enter?
Send a photo or drawing (or painting, or collage, or video!) to BCHealth@broomecountyny.gov with the subject line "Healthy Homes Contest." Your submission should show what a healthy neighborhood means to you. Please include your first name and the name of your town in the body of the email. You may also include your age if you are comfortable doing so.
Who can enter?
This contest is open to all residents of Broome County of any age.
What will you win?
The winner will receive a basket of FREE spring cleaning, safety, and summer fun supplies courtesy of the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention, Healthy Neighborhoods, and HUD Lead Hazard Reduction Programs! The winning submission will be announced shared on our website, our Facebook page, and Instagram page on April 30th 2024!
Why April?
The first week of April is National Public Health Week! We spend the week celebrating different aspects of public health. This year, Tuesday April 2nd is Healthy Neighborhoods Day! The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has also chosen April as Healthy Homes Month. As people begin their spring cleaning and spending more time outdoors, we think April is the perfect time to explore all the ways that where we live impacts our physical, social, and mental health.
Are there any rules?
Only one entry is allowed per participant. We ask that you please be respectful of other people in your community By entering this contest you grant Broome County Health Department the right to publish your submission on the Broome County Health Department website and associated social media accounts.
