2015 Roadway Safety Poster Contest is Underway! Each year the T2 Center holds our Roadway Safety Poster Contest for Children. We want to make roadway safety a priority and are asking the children of Connecticut to help promote roadway safety through art. Students in grades K-6 are invited to submit their original artwork for the chance to win big prizes and be recognized at the Work Zone Safety Week Press Conference held in March. To go along with the poster contest, we have also developed a short animated video for children explaining how they can be safe on the road. Please share this video with your own kids, your crews and their children and your local school, and help us keep all children in CT safe on the roadway. |
