Senior High Poster Guidelines
Under your school’s supervision (including after-school programs), students are to choose their own slogans and design posters based on the theme of “Dangers of Distracted Driving” with a focus on cell phone use or texting while driving.
• Hand-drawn or computer-generated posters may be submitted. Overall size (including mounting) must be no smaller than 8.5” x 11” and no larger than 15” x 22” and may be vertical or horizontal. May be on any type of poster board or heavy board.
• Single cartoon: Overall size (including mounting) must be 15” x 20”.
• Make sure the slogan is spelled correctly.
• Entries must be completed under the supervision of an authorized instructor, youth organization representative, or other responsible adult certifying that it is the student’s own original work.
• Designs may not include copyrighted materials such as comic and/or television characters, photographs, or magazine/newspaper illustrations.
• The name of the student must be spelled correctly and TYPED on the entry form and attached to the bottom left hand side of the poster. This information will be used for gift checks and certificates, and it’s important that names are clear and spelled correctly. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will not be considered for judging.
• There should be a strong relation of the poster design to traffic safety practices.
• The poster design should be original, with a strong visual impact and supporting message.
