Thomas Carlton of Presque Isle, Sophie Brickman of Fort Kent and Hunter Stiles Wardwell of Blaine were the winners of the recent ASAP Inhalant Abuse Poster Contest.
Earlier this spring ASAP staff invited youth throughout the county to participate in the contest.
The goal of the contest was to provide an opportunity for youth to participate in ASAP’s prevention efforts.
The posters provide information for parents about the risks of inhalant abuse.
The winning posters will be printed later this year with hopes of having them posted in local physicians’ waiting areas or exam rooms.
