UCT’s International Safety Poster Contest

As part of UCT's ongoing effort to promote safety education, we sponsor an international safety poster contest for students in public and parochial schools and for students with intellectual disabilities each year. Posters promoting any type of safety (i.e. drug, alcohol, firearms, fire safety, etc.) that have won UCT's safety poster competitions on the local and regional levels are eligible and judging is conducted in three levels for each division.

In the public and parochial school division, the levels are: the lower level, for students in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades; the middle level, for students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades; and the upper level, for students in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. In the division for people with intellectual disabilities, the levels are: the lower level, for students comparable to the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades; the middle level, for students comparable to the 6th, 7th and 8th grades; and the upper level, for students comparable to the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. One first prize, two second prize and three third prize posters are selected as winners in each level of each division.

The safety posters are judged according to the originality of idea, the artistic ability displayed and the neatness of the content. The international safety poster judging is conducted at UCT's Home Office by professional judges working in the art and safety fields and the winning posters are displayed at our annual convention in July. Winners are awarded cash prizes.
