As part of NIAAA’s 50th anniversary celebration we are launching a photo contest. We hope to have all nine counties we serve represented. We are looking for an iconic photo to represent each county: it could be something easily recognizable, a hidden treasure or a stunning landscape. We ask that your agency help promote this competition on your website, Facebook page, and any other social media platform you may use.
What we need: Digital high resolution original photos representing your county.
Who can participate: This contest is open to the public, and anyone can participate.
When: Submissions to NIAAA are due by Monday 12/2/2024 and the winners will be announced on NIAAA’s website and Facebook page on Monday 12/16/2024.
What’s the prize: $50 Amazon gift card, a NIAAA’s award certificate, and bragging rights. The winning photos will be printed, professionally framed and proudly displayed at NIAAA’s office. The winning photos will represent each county on NIAAA’s new website.
Reopening: The program for ordering free at-home COVID-19 tests will restart in late September 2024.
The U.S. government's free test ordering program will reopen to allow residential households to place one order for #4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. Tests can be ordered by following this link https://covidtests.gov/.
