Kids Use Their Street Smarts, Creativity in Traffic Safety Poster Contest

More than 160 Davis kids showed off their Street Smarts in the third annual City of Davis Street Smarts Poster Contest.

Participants were asked to create original artwork focusing on the importance of safe bicycle riding, proper helmet use and/or crossing the street safely.

“This year we received a record number of entries,” said Crystal O’Hara, Street Smarts coordinator. “I was especially impressed with not only the creativity these kids expressed, but also the range of important topics the posters covered.”

“With so many wonderful posters to choose from, choosing the top three was particularly difficult for our judges.”

All of the posters were displayed during an Awards Ceremony held Wednesday at the Veterans’ Memorial Center, where the Grand, Second and Third Prize winners were announced.

The Grand Prize went to Devayani Varma, a fifth-grader at Montgomery Elementary School, who received a Nintendo DSi. Connor Tang, a first-grader at Korematsu Elementary School placed Second and won an iPod Shuffle and a $25 iTunes Gift Card. The Third Place winner was Sophia Hahn, a fifth-grader at Pioneer Elementary School, who received a $50 Target gift certificate.

“Our three winners did an outstanding job. We were very impressed with their original and imaginative ideas and their understanding of the importance of traffic safety,” O’Hara said.

The Grand, Second and Third Place posters, along with seven other finalists, will be displayed at City Hall throughout the month of December. The posters will also be incorporated into Street Smarts marketing materials.

Each child who entered the contest received a gift card for a free yogurt, courtesy of YoloBerry Yogurt, and a Street Smarts pencil.

The judges, representatives of Street Smarts supporters Nugget Markets, Kaiser Permanente, the Davis Bike Club and The Davis Enterprise, also chose the following finalists: Tobias Duffy, a fifth-grader at North Davis Elementary; Adrienne Gee, a third-grader at Willett Elementary; Lyna Jiang, a second-grader at Montgomery Elementary; Alyssa Lengtat, a fifth-grader at Montgomery Elementary; Jessica Mikerin, a third-grader at North Davis Elementary; Gavin Pinnow, a second-grader at Birch Lane Elementary; and Seoyeon Yoon, a third-grader at Willett Elementary. Each received a free personal pizza, courtesy of Woodstock’s Pizza and a $5 Jamba Juice Gift Card.
