Submissions requested for community safety poster contest
K-12 student artists are invited to enter “Look Out for Each Other” themed contest
Publish Date
Sound Transit and Arts Corps invite artists in grades K-12 to participate in the “Safety is a team effort – LOOK out for each other!” safety poster contest. Students are asked to draw or illustrate what it means to look out for friends, family members, neighbors, and community members around tracks and trains.
Winners of the contest, which is open to students in Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties, will win cash prizes and the chance to have their posters featured on board Sound Transit’s Link light rail trains.
The contest is open now, and submissions can be uploaded here or submitted in person at Arts Corps (4408 Delridge Way SW, Suite 110, Seattle, WA 98106) Monday through Thursday, 2/26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For more inspiration, Sound Transit’s Safety Messages are:
- Look both ways. Trains come from both directions, so always expect a second train!
- Headphones off, screens down. It’s important to stay alert to be safe.
- Take crosswalks, not shortcuts. Trains always have the right of way, so pay attention to crossing signals.
- Stay behind the yellow line. The yellow strip creates a barrier between the train and the platform.
- Bike smart, ride safe. When you’re riding a bike, always cross tracks at a 90-degree angle to prevent getting stuck.
For questions about the contest, please contact safetyposter@artscorps.org.
