PURPOSE: To develop a visual concept for the above-mentioned theme.
This fire safety poster contest is open to all public, parochial and private schools in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The contest is for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students only. First and second place winners will be chosen in each county. First, second and third place statewide winners will be chosen from all first place county winners.

In appreciation for firefighter-educators’ help in promoting and conducting the contest, we have added a benefit to assist local fire departments in fire safety and education. The towns who have the first, second and third place winning posters in the statewide contest will each be granted a check in the amount of $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, to be used for any equipment, materials, outreach, education, research and prevention efforts relative to the fire prevention/education initiative.
