To increase awareness of the importance of school safety, we encourage ALL SCHOOLS to participate in the 2013 School Safety Art Contest. Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) will be accepting entries that illustrate ideas related to this year’s theme of school safety. Prizes and special recognition from RIEMA will be presented to the winners during National School Safety Week, October 20-26. Students are encouraged to use art as a means to share their vision, experiences, and talents to demonstrate “what school safety means to me” portraying a non-denominational, positive message. Winning entries will be displayed at the schools, on RIEMA's website, and also used in an educational calendar.
This contest is open to any student who attends a Rhode Island school (public, private, charter parochial) or is home schooled in Rhode Island. No group artwork will be accepted. Only one entry per student.
