HNL Lab Medicine invites local artists in grades K–8 to enter its annual art contest by May 31 for a chance to win a one-year membership to the Da Vinci Science Center or Crayola Experience and have their artwork featured in Patient Service Centers across the region.

This year’s theme encourages students to design a bandage that symbolizes healing, strength or wellness.

“Our annual art contest gives children a chance to reflect on what healing looks like and to turn that into something visual and uplifting. It’s a creative way to humanize health care and engage young minds with a positive message,” said Jessica Bargilione, vice president of marketing. “A simple bandage can mean so much: It can bring comfort, courage and connection. We can’t wait to see how these artists bring that idea to life.”

To enter, local students can download and print the official contest template from HNL Lab Medicine’s website. Each submission must include the artist’s full name, grade and a contact email for a parent, teacher or guardian.

Completed artwork can be scanned and submitted through the online form on the contest webpage or mailed to: Marketing Department, 794 Roble Road, Allentown, PA 18104. All submissions must be received by May 31.

Participants will be judged in three categories: Most Creative, Most Healing and Most Expressive. Winners are selected from each of the following grade groups: K–2, 3–5 and 6–8, and will be announced on HNL Lab Medicine’s social media pages (Facebook and LinkedIn) on June 18.
