Safety Poster Contest

Every year, the Fire Department invites local third grade students to show off their creativity by making a safety poster illustrating one of three chosen safety topics of that year.

The 2025 Safety Poster Contest is here! Choose from one of the three topics below, and make your own safety poster. Make sure to fill out a release form and attach it to the back of the poster. Last day for submissions is March 28. Winners will be offered a dessert party with their class and local firefighters; a Certificate of Accomplishment from the Forsyth County Fire Chief and their artwork posted to our social media channels and website.

2025 Topics:

• Booster Seat and Car Seat Safety (Using the right car/booster seat for a child’s height and weight)
• Close Before You Doze (Close your door before bed, door serves as an extra barrier in case of fire)
