Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Invites Nominations for Youth Advocates of the Year

Each year the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids honors the accomplishments of outstanding young people who are among today's most effective leaders in tobacco control.

The Youth Advocates of the Year Awards honor young advocates from across the United States who have fought hard to promote tobacco prevention legislation in their home states, reduce tobacco marketing to kids in their communities, and stop their peers from using tobacco. Youth Advocate awardees have excelled at promoting tobacco prevention at the local, state, national, and international levels.

The program will honor four regional (East, West, Central, and South) award winners (grades 9-12); one national award winner (grades 9-12); one group winner (middle school and/or high school grades); and one military youth winner (grades 9-12). Each regional winner will receive a $2,500 scholarship and a $500 grant; the national winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship and a $500 grant; the group winner will receive a $2,500 grant; and the military winner will receive a $2,000 grant. The awards will be presented on May 17, 2012, in Washington, D.C., at the campaign's awards gala.

Complete program information and the nomination form are available at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Web site.
