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 starts March 1! Choose from one of the three topics below, and make your own safety 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 displayed in various Forsyth County government buildings.
