CAPP, in collaboration with the Canadian Dermatology Association, is pleased to announce our first ever Youth Art Contest.
The objective of the contest is to increase awareness of the challenges of living with psoriasis, to introduce our new video and to mark World Psoriasis Day 2016
About the contest

* Gain access to treatments for an improved quality of life
Art work should be representative of the theme (or any one of the sub-themes) in how it relates to pediatric psoriasis.
Note: artists do NOT have to have psoriasis to be eligible.
