The 2015 Problem Gambling Awareness Calendar features young Oregonians’ views on problem gambling, expressed through art.
State, county and tribal agencies as well as middle school teachers and students collaborated to create this calendar.
Each year, in observance of National Problem Gambling Month, middle school students create
messages and images that convey the risk of developing a gambling disorder. Students from across the state submitted art and a panel of judges selected the artwork that appears in this calendar.
