GENERAL INFORMATION: The Drug Free Poster Art Contest was created almost 30 years ago as an art/ calendar contest to involve children, from kindergarten through high school in a program that would promote living a drug free life. With the support of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Rural Housing Services, the scope of the competition has increased dramatically. The art/calendar contest is an activity that not only helps to ensure the health and well-being of our youth, but it also goes a long way toward maintaining a positive public perception of your property and community. The project is sponsored by AHMAs throughout the country and NAHMA.
