SAFETY POSTER CONTEST
Calling all Kids! Montgomery Transportation Group is excited to announce the 2024 Spring Safety Poster Contest and we can’t wait to see your masterpieces. The Safety Poster Contest is a key part of our ongoing efforts to increase awareness of safe driving habits, and who better to showcase this than the little ones we love most. The contest is open to all students grades K-12 with a chance to win $$! See all details below!
WHAT IS IT?
With safety as one of our most important core values, we launched the Safety Poster Contest not only to increase safety awareness but also as a way to incorporate family to our driver’s daily efforts. This contest allows the children of Montgomery Transportation Group to take on an advocacy role for our drivers to help solidify the image of safety through our children’s eyes. Students grades K-12 are asked to use their creativity and talent to illustrate the importance of safe driving behaviors on our nation’s streets and highways, while also showing how much our drivers are loved and supported by their families back home.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
The contest is open to all children and step-children of Montgomery Transportation Group employees and drivers, grades K-12 (ages 5-18). Employees without children are also allowed to choose a child who plays a significant role in their life to participate on their behalf for those who wish to do so (godchildren, niece, nephew, cousin, etc.). Participants will be grouped into three age groups based on their grade for the 2023-2024 school year, with 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners chosen from each category.
2023 WINNERS
HOW ARE WINNERS SELECTED?
The photo you post of your MTG KID will be added to an album on the Montgomery Transport Facebook Page for voting. This year, winners will be chosen by the people to make it more fun and add transparency, plus we love seeing the smiling faces of our MTG Kids! Our social media audience will determine who takes home the prizes based on the number of “likes” each Safety Poster receives. Don’t forget to POST & TAG!
Artwork of 1st place winners in each category will be framed and displayed in our home office.
