Objective

To have students create messaging in their class and discuss the dangers of drugged, drunk and distracted driving. SADD's goal is to share some of these great designs with the rest of the province!

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?

• This is a great activity for any students and we encourage all classes to participate!
• We invite ALBERTA students in grades 7-12 to submit their designs to SADD Alberta for review and possible printing & distribution to high schools in Alberta.

TOPICS & THEMES

Posters submitted to SADD should focus on one of the following topics:

• Drinking & Driving (Alcohol-impaired)
• Drugged Driving
• Distracted Driving

Suggested poster themes could include:

• Dangers, risks, consequences
• Social situations, peer pressures
• Education/awareness (i.e. laws)
• Methods for prevention
• Emotions / people who may be affected 

We encourage students to be as creative as possible, but some points that may prevent the reproduction of their design include:

• Depicting underage consumption of alcohol or drugs.
• Use of weapons
• Foul language or images in poor taste
• Use or depiction of specific brand names 
• Use of any copyrighted material

If you have any questions about any of the criteria, feel free to drop us a line!
