Annual Poster Contest
The City of
Shelton Fire Prevention Bureau conducts an annual poster contest for all 4th
and 5th grade students. All public and private schools participate.
In addition to first and second place winners for each grade from each school,
a first place winner is chosen for each grade to represent the city in the
statewide contest. The poster contest is designed to develop fire safety
awareness in youngsters and to encourage them to take the message home to their
families. It is jointly sponsored by Connecticut FAIR Plan, representing the
insurance industry in this state; the Connecticut Fire marshals Association;
Connecticut Board of Education and the Office of State Fire Marshal.
The contest begins
during fire prevention week in October with judging conducted in December. An
award ceremony is held annually in the City Hall Auditorium for students,
family and school personnel. Click on the links below current and past year
