The Faces of Neonatal Nursing Photo Contest
| 2011 Photo Contest Winner |
 |
| Yes, Charli, There Is A Santa Claus, submitted by Laurie Ketterl of Eagle, NE |
Neonatal nursing has many faces. It’s dedicated nursing professionals in the NICU, in transport, in home care, in academic settings, within local communities, up on Capitol Hill, and around the globe. There are faces of neonates from days old to years old, growing and prospering, and there are also faces of mothers, fathers, grandparents, and siblings. Join NANN in celebrating neonatal nursing by participating in the Faces of Neonatal Nursing photo contest.
Submit a photo and an accompanying caption conveying an aspect of neonatal nursing. Your photo could make the cover of Advances in Neonatal Care, and you could win a complimentary registration to next year's Annual Educational Conference!
Photo submissions and narratives will be displayed on the NANN website, where the winning photo will be determined via online ballot.
All submissions become the property of NANN for use by the association. The same individual may not win the Best Overall prize for 2 consecutive years. All entries are screened for appropriate developmental, infection prevention, patient care and safety standards. Photos not meeting the current standards as determined by the selection committee will not be entered into the contest.
