A poster created by Dylan Bozic, a student of Stuarts Draft High School, has been recognized by AAA Mid-Atlantic for earning first place in its Annual Traffic Safety Poster Contest.
Dylan was awarded first place in the High School (9-12) division covering the subject of Teen Driving. Dylan’s artwork was selected by AAA Mid-Atlantic from among nearly 1,400 entries. A panel of traffic safety experts judged the entries based on originality, technique, visual impact and relationship of messaging to traffic safety. His entry was selected from among hundreds of high school submissions.
“Dylan’s poster not only showcased his artistic talents, but also helped spread an important message about teen driving safety,” said Martha M. Meade, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Motor vehicle-related crashes continue to be the number one cause of death for children over age 2, and we hope entries such as Dylan’s will help students’ share the importance of traffic safety with their peers.”
The Annual Traffic Safety Poster Contest aims to reduce traffic related fatalities through education and community outreach. Each year, students design posters and public service announcements using traffic safety slogans selected by AAA. Entrants are grouped according to grade: K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. First place winners are awarded a $500 Visa Gift Card; second place winners receive a $250 Visa Gift Card; third place winners are given a $100 Visa Gift Card; and those receiving an honorable mention get movie tickets and a AAA Atlas.
