Metra Safety Poster Contest

Metra has commenced the 2009-2010 Safety Poster and Safety Essay Contest and this
year’s theme is “Make the Right Choice: Look, Listen and Live.” First Place winners
will receive a Notebook Computer, Second Place will receive a $250 Gift Card and
Third Place will receive a $100 Gift Card. In addition, winning designs will be
distributed to more than 2,000 schools in Northeastern Illinois, featured in Metra's
Safety Calendar, on the contest Web site, in station displays and on monthly tickets.
Metra will recognize the school who submits the most entries in the 2009-2010 Safety
Poster Contest by awarding it a new computer compatible with its current system.
Every school's entries will be totaled after the contest deadline on March 1, 2010 and a computer will be presented to the winning school's principal before the start of the next school year. The deadline for both contests is March 1, 2010. The Village would like to encourage students to participate in the contests to heighten the awareness of important safety behaviors. All details and rules for entry are available at the contest website: www.metracontest.com. (Shown: One of the 2008-09 winning pictures, by George Finn.)
