The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety is hosting the “Make a Difference” art contest for Missouri students ages 14-19. Students can create a poster to support the importance of wearing a seat belt. The deadline is February 27.
The poster must have a strong call to action and encourage peers to buckle up. Among prizes awarded, contest winners will have their posters promoted in the March Teen Seat Belt statewide media campaign.
Wearing a safety belt is the most effective way to reduce injuries and fatalities in a crash. When worn correctly, safety belts can reduce the risk of death for front seat occupants or passenger cars by 45 percent.
