The contest was sponsored by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Center for Excellence (HBCU-CFE) in Behavioral Health at Morehouse School of Medicine, in Atlanta, Georgia. The winners were announced at the annual National Behavioral Health Awareness Day event held on February 26, 2016.
