- O&G Safety Poster Contest
Contest Details
O&G is sponsoring a Safety Poster Contest, asking kids to illustrate through posters the importance of safety. In celebration of O&G’s 100th year in business this year’s poster theme is “100 Years of Construction Safety.”
The Safety Poster Contest asks kids to take on an advocacy role and communicate the importance of safety. This year’s theme – “100 Years of Construction Safety” – emphasizes the importance of being aware of your surroundings and personal safety when near construction sites, which can be dangerous.

Prizes (awarded to each age division):
First Place: $500
