Washington Poison Center's annual poster contest
It’s time to put your creativity to the test! Washington Poison Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital are inviting students from Kindergarten through 12th grade to take up their markers, colored pencils, and paintbrushes to participate in the 19th annual poison prevention poster contest! This year’s theme is “Pick Your Poison.”

- Learn about it: Explore how your selected poison affects people and how people can stay safe.
- Get creative: Design a unique, eye-catching poster to share what you’ve learned.
- Submit your poster: Mail your poster to the Washington Poison Center (155 NE 100th Street, Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98125) by the Friday, February 14 deadline.
