DERBY - Griffin Hospital’s Health Initiative for Men (HiM) is holding a Valleywide Father’s Day art contest to design the front of its 2014 Father’s Day Card.
The
contest is open to Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton
students from elementary school to 12th grade. Entries will
be split into an Elementary School Division (up to 6th grade) and a
Middle School/High School Division (7th-12th grade).
Winners will
receive U.S. savings bonds and their art will be featured on Father’s Day
cards distributed throughout the Valley.
Design entries should include the depiction of the love between a father and child/children, and a Father’s Day wish encouraging
fathers to be aware of/take charge of their own health.
Prizes
of $250 will be awarded to one student from each age group in each
community for the winning design, and $125 for the
runners up.
Two grand prize division winners will be chosen from the
pool of community winners and will receive an additional $250.
Applications are available at each Valley public school. Submissions must be sent to the high school art department where the
contestant lives by May 15.

About The Health Initiative for Men
In
an effort to help inspire men to have an annual physical and to raise
awareness about men’s health issues such as prostate
cancer and colorectal cancer, Griffin Hospital launched the “Health
Initiative for Men” (HiM), a community-wide preventive healthcare
effort.
The goal of the HiM is to influence men to see their physician
annually, and to be screened for various diseases that
respond better to treatment if detected early. For more information
