Poster Contest Encourages Creative Anti-Violence Messages
Marion County students in grades 5-8 are encouraged to compete for more than $1,500 in prizes as part of the Marion County Health Department’s annual anti violence poster contest. This year’s theme is “I have power over my actions.”

The contest encourages students to anti-violence messages in areas including bullying, dating violence, domestic violence, child abuse, sibling abuse and other forms of interpersonal violence.
