Per the instructions: With this photo contest, we are looking at different ways to show health and healthy (or unhealthy) communities. The environment in which you live, work, and play affects your health. Using the lens of your camera, we want to see what you believe makes a healthy community!
[IMHO, giving blood and learning CPR are important parts of a creating a healthy community. Just sayin’.]
