The Public Health Foundation (PHF) is pleased to announce the launch of the
“I’m Your Community Guide!” Contest. In an effort to promote
The Guide to Community Preventive Services,
also known as
The Community Guide, PHF is soliciting stories from those who have used or are currently using the
Community Guide, for a chance to win a $1,000 public health conference scholarship. The stories will help advance public health practice by exemplifying the value of implementing evidence-based strategies.
Stories are encouraged from all state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments; community health coalitions; and other organizations that have used or are currently using
The Community Guide’s findings and recommendations to improve health in their communities. The top 3 entrants will each be awarded a scholarship (up to $1,000) to be used towards attendance at a national public health conference in 2011. The top 15 entrants will win an
“I’m Your Community Guide!” prize pack, and all entrants will receive 15% off their next purchase of public health training materials from
PHF’s Online Store.
Submit stories for contest consideration via e-mail to info@phf.org through May 6, 2011. Submissions may be made as a text document of no more than two pages or as a completed contest entry form. Each entry will be reviewed and scored by a panel of judges, and winners and prizes will be announced by May 31, 2011. Stories will be made public to create a community of learning and sharing surrounding The Community Guide. Complete submission information is detailed in the “I’m Your Community Guide!” Contest Submission Guidelines.
