- The Division of State Fire Marshal works with school districts statewide to promote fire safety through our annual fire safety poster contest. This is open to all elementary school students in Ohio from Kindergarten through 6th grade.
- The design must include a fire prevention theme.
- Posters should display positive behavior statements of what students can do to prevent a fire at home. (This may include identifying common places fires can start, showing what steps to take when a smoke alarm sounds, and having fire escape plans with two ways out.)
- Posters must be on 8.5 x 11-inch paper – larger sizes will not be considered.
- Any colors may be used. A white or light-colored background is preferred.
- Crayons, markers, pencils, etc., can be used.
- All artwork must be original. No computer-generated artwork or photographs may be used. Clippings from magazines, newspapers, and books are not appropriate. No traced images are accepted.
- The poster surface should remain flat.
- All posters become the property of the Division of State Fire Marshal and will not be returned. (Please copy or photograph your artwork before submitting it.)
