Public Health Foundation (PHF) is pleased to announce that the 2013 “I’m Your Community Guide!” Contest will be launching in late October 2012. In an effort to promote The Guide to Community Preventive Services, also known as The Community Guide, PHF is collecting stories from State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial health departments; community health organizations; hospitals; and others who have used or are currently using The Community Guide to improve health in their community. The stories will help advance public health practice by exemplifying the value of implementing evidence-based strategies. 

Model stories from past contest winners include:
 
2011 Winners

 

 2012 Winners

 
Complete submission guidelines, including scoring criteria and entry form will be made available online in late October 2012. PHF will begin receiving stories for contest consideration in late October 2012. A panel of judges knowledgeable about the evidence-based findings outlined in The Community Guide will review and score each entry. Winners and prizes will be announced by March 31, 2013. Stories will be made public to create a community of learning and sharing surrounding The Community Guide.

PHF is working to promote The Community Guide in a variety of ways.  If you are interested in helping PHF promote use of The Community Guide to improve the public's health, please contact Antoinette Barber.

This activity is supported under a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Public Health Foundation. The 2013 "I'm Your Community Guide! Contest is solely the responsibility of PHF and does not necessarily represent the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Funding for this activity was provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under 3U38HM000518-05S1.
