The Kansas Department of Transportation is sponsoring a poster and video contest for the “Put The Brakes On Fatalities Day.” Kansas students can win great prizes and learn about traffic safety. The deadline is approaching quick. Poster entries must be postmarked by September 20th. Video entries must be posted by Sunday, September 29th.
The poster contest is open for all Kansas students ages 5 to 13, three statewide winners will each receive: Kindle Fire Tablet and case from the Kansas Turnpike authority; $50 Amazon gift card from the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association of Kansas; movie passes from AAA Kansas; and $200 for the school, class or the Booster club.
A total of 18 regional winners in the six regions and age will receive a bicycle and a helmet from Safe Kids Kansas. About 37,000 people die in traffic crashes each year across the United States. That’s nearly 101 fatalities every day. Last year, Aurora Powell from Overbrook was a poster winner.
