This year\u2019s theme encourages students to design a bandage that symbolizes healing, strength, or wellness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur annual art contest gives children a chance to reflect on what healing looks like and to turn that into something visual and uplifting. It\u2019s a creative way to humanize healthcare and engage young minds with a positive message,\u201d said Jessica Bargilione, Vice President of Marketing. \u201cA simple bandage can mean so much: it can bring comfort, courage, and connection. We can\u2019t wait to see how these artists bring that idea to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To enter, local students can download and print the official contest template from HNL Lab Medicine\u2019s website. Each submission must include the artist\u2019s full name, grade, and a contact email for a parent, teacher, or guardian. Completed artwork can be scanned and submitted through the online form on the contest webpage or mailed to: Marketing Department, 794 Roble Road, Allentown, PA 18104. All submissions must be received by May 31.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will be judged in three categories\u2014Most Creative, Most Healing, and Most Expressive.
