Oral Health Poster Competition Now Open
The Department of Health’s Oral Health Section is inviting young artists aged 4 to 16 to enter a poster competition themed “A Happy Mouth is a Happy Life.”
A spokesperson said, “The Oral Health Section of the Department of Health is inviting children and young people aged 4 to 16 to participate in the Oral Health Month Poster Competition. This year’s theme, “A Happy Mouth is a Happy Life,” encourages young artists to highlight the importance of good oral hygiene and its impact on overall wellbeing. Entries must be submitted by 20 February.”
The Hon. Kim Wilson, Minister of Health, JP, MP, said, “Oral Health Month is your chance to inspire healthy habits, and I want our children to be part of that message. Good oral health supports overall health, confidence, and wellbeing, and simple daily routines started early can make a lifelong difference. This poster competition is a positive way for children to learn, reflect, and encourage their families and friends to protect their smiles.”
A spokesperson said, “The competition is open in three age categories: ages 4 to 6, ages 7 to 11, and ages 12 to 16. Posters must be submitted in person to the Oral Health Section at the Hamilton Clinic, 67 Victoria Street. Each entry must include the child’s first and last name, age, school, and a contact number on the back. Emailed submissions will not be accepted.
“All submitted posters will be available for public viewing at City Hall from 25 to 26 February, with the display opening at 10.00 am. The winner will be announced on 27 February.
“Parents, guardians, and schools are encouraged to support children in creating posters that promote healthy mouths and healthy lives, and to submit entries ahead of the 20 February deadline.
