Contest for Communities

The Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Sports, Health, and Wellness invites you to participate in our 8th annual celebration of recognizing Maine people who are involved in promoting physical activity.  We are holding a "Contest for Communities" which offers the opportunity for organizations, businesses, schools, civic groups, and individuals to feature their accomplishments in physical activity.  Nominations will be accepted in the following categories:  youth, adult, special populations, community organizations, healthy workplaces, and lifetime achievement.  Won't you nominate an individual or organization in your community who is a role model for all of Maine?  Health fairs and programs that only contain a nutritional component are not eligible to apply.  Also, programs/individuals who have won in the past two years are not eligible.   

Deadline for submission is January 12, 2006.
