2023 Poster Contest
“Healthy Me, Drug Free”
Celebrating Drug Free Pain Management Month!
Why should your student/child participate? Project-based learning through poster design and researching the theme can give your student/child an opportunity to express their voice on health issues and showcase their creativity and talent. AND it’s fun!
There are many creative ways students can participate. They can highlight a favorite healthy activity or lifestyle choice that helps keep them drug free (hobbies, sports).
Students can also show the benefits of living a drug free lifestyle — keep mind and body healthy; obey the law; stay safe; maintain friendships; do well at school, etc.
Winning entries will be featured in the OSCA On Target magazine, social media and digital communications!
Contest Rules
The 2023 Poster Contest is open to all Ohio students in grades 4-9.
Any media can be used to create a flat/2-D effect as judging is based on a digital photo of the winning posters.
Size restrictions range from the smallest being 8.5” x 11” to the largest being 11” x 17”. Digital images must be clear.
All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a group of students. Although younger students will most likely receive help in planning from parents or teachers, OSCA encourages each student to do their own work.
NOTE: Entries with student handwriting and coloring will score better than those designed, drawn, and colored with adult assistance.
Entries must be turned in to the OSCA no later than Tuesday, September 26, 2023.
Posters will be judged in 4-6 or 7-9 grade level categories.
The 2023 theme, “Healthy Me, Drug Free”, must be included on the front side of each poster.
A signed and legible entry form must be secured to the back of the poster to be eligible for judging. If submitted by email, please fill out the form, sign the form and submit.
