No Tobacco Challenge (2020)

No Tobacco Challenge is a proactive, fun, and simple gateway to engaging elementary school students in the Omaha metro and beyond to discuss the dangers of tobacco, and the importance of making health-conscious choices for our bodies and to protect others.

MOTAC partners with Nebraska Methodist Health System (NMHS) and Tobacco Education and Advocacy of the Midlands (TEAM) Coalition on the challenge.

A small advisory group from NMHS (Lead Sponsor), MOTAC, and TEAM met to select the Grand Prize Winner from a pool of finalists, on the basis of creativity, neatness, originality, and effectiveness at promoting the message of “live tobacco free.” Everyone’s entries are appreciated. It was a wonderful group of artists this year, with so many creative works to choose from. Please see the Grand Prize winner and Finalist artwork showcased below.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the annual No Tobacco Challenge. We applaud your commitment to remain tobacco-free for life!
