Art Contest
Let's Promote Safe Driving!
CCS scholars in grades K-6 are invited to enter the 2017 Kid's Road Safety Art Contest hosted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Everyone who uses the roads has a role to play in safety. This art contest allows children to use their creativity
to help raise awareness about safe driving!
Share Your Art
Official contest entries must be mailed to the FMCSA in Washington D.C. Visit the FMCSA website to complete the entry form and find their mailing address. The winning artwork will best show that everyone who uses the roads has a role to play in safety. The FMCSA will award one grand prize winner and five honorable mention winners for each category.
Winners will receive a certificate of recognition and have their artwork featured in a 2018 calendar. The artists will also be featured in a press release, highlighted on multiple social media sites, and featured on the FMCSA website. Contest winners will be announced in October 2017.
All participating scholars are encouraged to share their artwork with CCS on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! To receive recognition, be sure to tag @CompassCS and use the hashtag #OurRoads in your posts.
