American Academy of Pediatrics Announces Annual Art Contest for Children in Grades 3 through 12

 Calling all young artists everywhere!  Although school may be out for summer for many children across our nation, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is putting out a call for little ones to pick up their crayons, colored pencils and brushes to submit creations for their annual art contest.  The theme for this year's contest is, "A World Free from Tobacco and Secondhand Smoke" and children in grades 3 through 12 are invited to send in their original artwork for submission.  First-place winners in several age categories will receive a $500 cash prize and up to $1,000 in travel expenses for a trip to Orlando, Florida.  Entries must be postmarked by July 31, 2013.  For more information, please visit http://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/Pages/AAP-Launches-Childrens-Art-Contest.aspx
