Theme: “Smoke Alarms: Make them work for you."
ENTRY GUIDELINES

Who?
Calling all third graders enrolled in Dublin City Schools, Washington Elementary (Hilliard Schools), St. Brigid’s, Tree of Life, or homeschooled in Dublin or Washington Township.

What?
Create a poster which includes the following message, “Smoke Alarms. Make them work for you.” Posters will be evaluated based on: (1) creativity incorporating the theme into the poster design, (2) effectiveness at catching the readers’ attention.

Why?
It’s fun and there are prizes for the first place and runner up entries from each school and from among all homeschooled students. Award recipients and their family members will be invited to an awards ceremony
on Sunday, October 6, 2024 (before the Fire Dept. Open House).

How?
Unleash your creativity! Use one sheet of paper that is at least 8.5 X 11” (or larger) and any medium you desire (crayons, paint, pencils, markers) to create a cool, one-of-a kind poster design that attracts attention and conveys your message. Paper (12” X 18”) will be available from your teacher and the Township Administration Office (6200 Eiterman Rd, M-F, 8 am to 4:30 pm). Feel free to use your own paper too. 

When?
Enter by 4 pm on September 20. Entries must be submitted in one of three ways: (1) at the entrant’s school, (2) at 6200 Eiterman Road, or (3) as an attachment to an email to [email protected]. The Fire Department will pick up the posters on September 23 from the schools. Posters must have the following legible information on the poster’s reverse side or in the body of the email (if the entry is submitted via email):

• Student’s first and last name
