SALEM — Young Oregonians are invited to submit original artwork to the Oregon Health Authority’s inaugural Oral Health Program art contest in recognition of Children’s Dental Health Month.

“Good oral health during childhood sets us up for a lifetime of healthy mouths, and we know that taking good care of our mouth helps keep our whole body healthy,” according to the contest announcement.

Children ages 4-18 who live in Oregon are invited to participate. Any form of art is welcome as long as the art is about teeth or the mouth, or related to dentistry and health. Digital images and photography must be 100% original.

Prizes will be awarded to the top two chosen winners in three age groups. The submission deadline is Feb. 24, and the winning artwork will be announced Feb. 29.
