The Interior Health (IH) Legal Substances team and the YOUTHWISE Advisory Group are excited to launch IH’s annual youth poster contest, Beyond the Buzz 2.0: Youth Voices on Substance Use for the chance to win a gift card worth $150 of the winners choice.
Unlike many other campaigns that focus exclusively on the health concerns of substance use, IH’s innovative contest has a different approach that aims at empowering youth to share their perspective on the issues. Ultimately, this project helps to develop peer-to-peer messaging for teens across the region, encouraging positive decision-making and strengthening prevention messaging from a teen’s perspective.
