The entries were evaluated based on creativity, clarity of message, and overall impact. We are incredibly proud of all the participants for their hard work and dedication to spreading these important safety messages. The diversity and thoughtfulness behind each poster really showcased the care our youth have for the safety and well-being of our community.

The AMERIND Safety Poster Contest is about more than just art—it’s about empowering young minds to think about the importance of safety in their daily lives. These posters remind all of us about the critical role safety plays in protecting our families and our community. From fire prevention tips to home safety best practices, the contest continues to educate and raise awareness.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to the families and teachers who supported these young artists in their efforts. Safety is a value we all share, and it’s inspiring to see the next generation taking an active role in promoting it. We look forward to seeing more creative entries next year and continuing to spread awareness about the importance of safety in our homes and communities.
