Design a Poster with a Road Safety Messaage!!

Westmeath County Council is running a road safety competition in the run up to Christmas this year. The objective of this competition is to raise road safety awareness for primary school children in the county of Westmeath.

Westmeath County Council recognises that there are many facets involved in improving road safety. We believe that working with children from a young age we can help promote the safer use of roads and reduce the incidence of fatal and serious collisions in County Westmeath.

This competition involves a student designing a poster which contains a road safety message. This message can be on any topic that relates to road safety such as , Seat belt safety, Be safe be seen, Speed, Driver Fatigue, Cycle Safety, Mobile phone use, Drink driving etc.

There are 4 categories in this competition as follows:

  • Junior & Senior Infants
  • First & Second Classes
  • Third & Fourth Classes
  • Fifth & Sixth Classes
There are a number of great prizes for each winning poster, from games consoles to ipods, to one4all vouchers and road safety packs.

The winning posters will be used in road safety campaigns which Westmeath County Council will be running next year as another tool to promote road safety awareness in the county of Westmeath.
