The We’re Working Here: Work Zone Safety Billboard Competition invites New York City high school students in grades 9-12 to develop creative public service announcements that remind the public to slow down and take caution in work zones.
The competition encourages the next generation of drivers and all roadway users to think through ways to change dangerous behaviors and prevent work zone intrusions that can lead to injuries and fatalities for both the public and work crews.
Students have a chance to hone their graphic design skills and creativity, be a part of a professional-level media campaign, and win a cash prize for their schools.
The first-place winning design will debut on a large-scale billboard as part of New York City’s recognition of National Work Zone Awareness week in April 2025.
The first-place winner will receive $1,000, the second-place winner will receive $750, and the third-place winner will receive $500 for each student’s respective school.
