2008 KNOW Heartworms Awareness Contest

Show the veterinary profession how you successfully implemented a KNOW Heartworms campaign in your practice. A judging panel representing the American Heartworm Society (AHS), the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and Pfizer Animal Health will select the winning practices. Criteria used to evaluate each hospital campaign will be how successful you were in educating clients about feline heartworm disease and HARD. Membership in AAFP or AHS is not a requirement for eligibility.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three veterinary practices. The first-place winner will receive a $1,500 stipend toward attending the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando, Fla., January 17-21, 2009, or Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas, Nev., February 15-19, 2009, and a complimentary one-year membership in AHS or AAFP. The second-place winner will receive a $500 stipend toward either conference. The third place winner will receive complimentary memberships in both organizations. All hospitals will be featured in a press release announcing the winners distributed to veterinary trade publications and their local media. Winners will be announced December 1, 2008.
