For Everyone.”, highlighting the many ways paramedics support our diverse communities.  

    The deadline to enter is May 1, 2025, at 8 p.m. The winning entry will be announced during Paramedic Services Week, with the winner receiving a visit to their home/school from a Paramedic crew, along with an ambulance tour.​ The crew will also present the winner with a First-Aid Kit and take part in a mock scenario and photo opportunity.

    To enter, please email your essay to [email protected]. Be sure to include the student’s name, name of parent/guardian, phone number, and what school the student attends.
