This year, students can submit within three categories - a poster, video, or social post – and have the chance to win an Amazon gift card of up to $500! <br /> <br /> Our theme this year is <strong>Become a Safety Influencer</strong>. Railway safety is incredibly important and influencing others to stay alert, aware, and safe around railroad tracks and trains can help save lives. So, whether you’re submitting a poster, video, or social post, show us how you can be a Metra safety influencer and what that means to you.</p> <p><strong>Submissions for the Safety Competition are now open. The final deadline to submit is May 5.</strong> </p> <p>Finalists and voters are encouraged to follow Metra profile pages (@MetraRail) for competition updates.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-block-content--field-icon-link field-name-field-icon-link field-type-entity-reference-revisions field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--icon-link paragraph--view-mode--box para-card"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cell small-12 medium-6 show-for-medium"> <div class="homepage-social-img" style='background-image: url(https://metra.com/sites/default/files/2024-02/artist-palette.png)' role="img" aria-label="artist palette"></div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockbasic grid-container full"> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1"> <h2 class="block-title">Categories</h2> <div class="body field field-block-content--body field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>Submission categories will be divided by age group, with one winner from each grade within each category:</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockicon-card"> <div class="image field field-block-content--field-image field-name-field-image field-type-entity-reference-revisions field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items grid-x"> <div class="field-item cell small-12 medium-4 para-card-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--icon-link paragraph--view-mode--card-view para-card"> <div class="icon-card--top"> <div class="field field-paragraph--field-lin field-name-field-lin field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>GRADES</p> <h3>K–4</h3> <p>Can submit a POSTER</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="icon-card--copy"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item cell small-12 medium-4 para-card-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--icon-link paragraph--view-mode--card-view para-card"> <div class="icon-card--top"> <div class="field field-paragraph--field-lin field-name-field-lin field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>GRADES</p> <h3>5–8</h3> <p>Can submit a POSTER or VIDEO</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="icon-card--copy"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-item cell small-12 medium-4 para-card-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--icon-link paragraph--view-mode--card-view para-card"> <div class="icon-card--top"> <div class="field field-paragraph--field-lin field-name-field-lin field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>GRADES</p> <h3>9–12</h3> <p>Can submit a POSTER or VIDEO or SOCIAL POST</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="icon-card--copy"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockbasic grid-container full"> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell small-12 medium-10 medium-offset-1"> <h2 class="block-title">Requirements</h2> <div class="body field field-block-content--body field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><p>Every submission should highlight the importance of train safety and our Become a Safety Influencer theme.

Fans of the competition will then be asked to vote via the comment section on their favorite poster from each region. The People’s Choice winner from each region (11 winners total) will be awarded a $500 Amazon gift card and will have their work featured in Metra promotional materials. Winners will be announced on July 22.</p> <p><strong>Please note: the People’s Choice Vote is for posters ONLY.
