PENNSYLVANIA — Students in first through sixth grades in PA schools are invited to enter the 2025 Lyme Art Contest by creating a short video or poster focusing on the theme “Protect. Check. Remove.”

The annual contest helps students, Scout troops and community youth programs learn how to prevent Lyme disease by educating them about ticks, including where ticks live, how to prevent bites and how to remove ticks that do bite.

Pennsylvania has one of the highest annual counts of Lyme disease cases in the nation, which further emphasizes the importance of teaching children about tick awareness and prevention measures.

The deadline for entries is Friday, March 14 at 5 p.m. To learn more, visit www.bit.ly/4hQaqgP.
