The United States Antibiotic Awareness Week (formerly known as “Get Smart” Week) is an annual one-week observance to raise awareness of the threat of antibiotic resistance and the importance of appropriate antibiotic use. In honor of U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week, the Indiana State Department of Health is holding a kids art competition.

Children ages 13 years-old and younger are encouraged to submit a drawing, poster, story, or poem based on one of the following themes for a chance to win an Indianapolis Colts baseball cap.

  • Importance of proper hand washing
  • Importance of vaccines
  • Knowing when NOT to use antibiotics (such as for colds and the flu- for more helpful hints, visit the U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week website)

There will be one prize for each of the following age groups: <4, 5-7, 8-10, and 11-13. Further information, including the competition guidelines, can be found on the ISDH website at: http://www.in.gov/isdh/27623.htm. Contest entries are due Tuesday October 31st, 2017.
