BOSTON -- The SunWise with SHADE Poster Contest is open to all kids in New England.

Students are encouraged to design a SunWise poster incorporating the basic SunWise lessons -- wearing sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, hats, sunglasses and seeking shade during the prime sun hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Last year, over 17,000 New England students entered the contest. Winning artists from each New England state will receive tickets to a Red Sox game and the grand prize winner will meet Curt Schilling and throw out the first pitch of a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
