The Safety Poster Contest has served as a way to increase awareness among farm and ranch families about the inherent danger of agricultural life and more by having children create colorful posters that encourage safety in and around the farming world. This contest challenged children across Kansas to envision a safer tomorrow through their art.
“This program has always been about more than art — it’s about awareness, responsibility and community,” said Serita Blankenship, contest manager. “Seeing children interpret agricultural safety in their own words and pictures reminded me every year why this work matters.”
For 75 years, young minds have shared safety slogans and illustrations in the hopes that tragic accidents could be reduced across Kansas. Winners of the contest received a letter, upwards of $175 and more.
County Farm Bureaus are encouraged to keep the tradition alive locally, and although the program ends for the state organization, farm and rural are safety remains an important lesson for Kansas kids everywhere.
