Washington Poison Center hosts poison prevention poster contest through Feb 8
It’s time to put your creativity to the test! Washington Poison Center invites students from Kindergarten through 12th grade to take up their markers, colored pencils, and paintbrushes to participate in the 20th annual Poison Prevention Poster Contest. The 2026 theme is "Pick Your Poison."
How it works:
- Pick a poison: Choose a harmful substance (like a chemical, toxic plant, or local venomous animal)
- Learn about it: Explore how your selected poison affects people and how to prevent poisoning from it
- Get creative: Design an eye-catching poster that helps people understand your poison and how they can stay safe around it
The contest is open for Kindergarten through 12th grade students, with four students being selected.
