Design a Road Safety Poster Competition

Road Safety Poster Competitions

In 2006, Galway County Council invited all national schools in County Galway to design a Road Safety Poster. The aim of this initiative was to raise awareness of road safety in young children. Eighteen schools in the county submitted entries and a total of 515 posters were received. The Council’s Arts Officer and Road Safety Officer adjudicated on the entries. Mayor of Galway, Councillor Michael Mullins, presented prizes and certificates to the successful pupils on 31^st May, 2007. The posters were on display in the Council’s Foyer for a number of weeks.

In 2008, Galway Co. Council also ran a Poster Competition for national schools in line with European Mobility Week which ran from 16^th to 22^nd September, ’08, inclusive, and the theme that year was ‘Clean Air for All’, e.g. cycling; walking; running; car-pooling; taking the bus to school; road safety; Carbon Footprint ‘know your number’, etc.

Fifteen national schools in County Galway submitted entries and a total of 395 posters were received – prizes issued to the successful entrants and the posters were on display in the Council Foyer during European Mobility Week.
