Entries sought for radon poster contest

The 2020 national radon poster contest is now open, giving Colorado students ages 9-14 a chance to educate communities about indoor radon risks, win cash prizes and have their artwork distributed across the state or country.

The contest is designed to raise awareness for radon testing and to inform people of the danger of radon in their homes. Posters are first entered into the Colorado contest, with the winning poster representing Colorado in the national contest.

Students enrolled in a public, private, territorial, tribal, Department of Defense or home school are eligible to submit entries. Members of a sponsoring club, such as a scouting organization or an art, computer, science or 4-H club, are also eligible.

Posters must be submitted by Saturday, Nov. 30, and only one entry per student is allowed.

Poster contest submission forms, topics, rules and prizes may be found online at www.coloradoradon.info.

Colorado entries will be judged based on content accuracy, visual communication of the topic, reproducibility and originality.
