Riverside County recently partnered with Reach Out, an Inland Empire nonprofit organization, to launch two programs using art to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
One program is a social media challenge in which participants submit a 30-second video focused on one or more of the three steps to slow the spread of the coronavirus: wearing a mask, keeping six feet of distance and washing hands frequently.
The other program, the health ambassador program, is a creative arts contest in which participants are asked to submit some form of artwork such as a photograph, music, poetry, sculpture, painting or drawing. Potential artwork themes include “Reasons I wear a mask” and “What I miss most during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Entries in both programs are reviewed by a panel of community judges.
The programs began Aug. 31, and weekly winners are being selected from entries received by 5 p.m. every Friday through Oct. 9.
Winning entries are highlighted on social media and recognized by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, along with placement in a public location for display, according to a news release.
The top winner each week receive a $50 gift card, sponsored by donors to Reach Out. At the end of the programs, 12 grand prize winners will each receive a $100 gift card, donated by Reach Out and local businesses.
“There are so many artists and young people who can use their imagination to express themselves creatively and get the right message out there,” Kim Saruwatari, director of Riverside University Health System-Public Health, said in the news release. “The social media challenge and health ambassador program will target younger audiences, which is critical to help slow then stop the spread of coronavirus,” Saruwatari said.
The programs are open to all ages; those younger than 18 must have permission from a parent or guardian to participate. All entries must include a consent and release form, and participants may enter more than once in either program.
