Design
the official poster for the
YouthSAFE Program, and win $$$
Deadline for submissions: April 4, 2008
Too many young workers
are getting hurt on the job. Every year, more
than 200,000 workers under 18 years of age are injured at
work, and many of these injuries are serious ones.
Every young worker needs to know that they have the right
to a safe and healthful workplace. As part of the New York
Committee for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NYCOSH)
and the New York State United Teachers’ (NYSUT) awareness
campaign to educate young workers about their rights and safety
on the job, you are invited to submit artwork and designs
for a poster contest. The winning design will be distributed
throughout New York State as NYCOSH’s official YouthSAFE
poster for 2007.
Who is eligible to submit art?
All youth, ages 14-19, who live
in New York State.
What do you have to do?
Develop a slogan or message, using
your own words, to explain how employers and teens can keep
workplaces safe. Then, design a colorful poster that communicates
your message to employers and young workers. Your poster must
be no larger than 11-1/2" x 15". Print your name,
address, birth date and
telephone number on the back of the poster. Note: Spelling
counts! Posters with misspelled words will be ruled ineligible
for prize monies.
