In February, a panel of 7
judges had the difficult task of reviewing the top 10 entries from the
K-1st, 2-3rd and 4-6th grade categories based
on the online portion of the contest. Each entry was judged on a series of
questions to determine if the entry portrayed a work zone and if the students
had a clear understanding of a work zone. After each judge scored the drawings,
IDOT tallied the scores and the 12 finalists were determined.
IDOT, along with the Illinois State Board of Education,
the American Traffic Safety Services Foundation (ATSSF) and the Illinois Chapter
of the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), coordinated this
statewide contest.
The top 12 winners will have their artwork displayed in
the 2009 Illinois Work Zone Safety Calendar and they will receive their awards
at a luncheon on
Saturday,
April 12, 2008 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield. The top 6
Illinois winners will advance to judging at the national level and vie for a
spot in ATSSA’s work zone safety calendar. If you have any questions, please
contact Jessica Baker at 217/785-3062. |
