Share your main reasons for having the best life ever.

Contra Costa County MEDS Coalition and its partners recently launched a new substance use prevention campaign with the theme “Life’s Too Good to be Wasted (LTG) and we would like to invite you to join us!

What’s Good in YOUR Life? Friends – Family – Pets – Sports – Education – Art – Future Career?

Our LTG campaign is a reminder to stay SUBSTANCE FREE! What in YOUR life is good, even during these difficult times? What brings YOU joy – what activities, things or people do you cherish? What hopes and dreams do you have that you don’t want substances to get in the way of? Show us through your art and poetry!

The ‘Life’s Too Good To Be Wasted’ Art and Poetry contests are open to ALL middle and high school students throughout the United States.

To participate in our Art Contest:
First – Think of how you would tell your peers about why staying substance free is important to you!
Next – Create original art (paintings, drawings or digital art) that shares what keeps you substance free.
Last – Submit a high quality photo of your original art in JPEG format for judging.
