“I encourage all high school students in Hampden County to take on this challenge,” said District Attorney Gulluni. “Create a PSA or poster highlighting the dangers of impaired and distracted driving and earn cash prizes for your school! Help spread this important message and make a difference in our community.”

The contest is open to all Hampden County high school students, organizations, clubs, and athletic teams. Participants must submit either:

Winning entries will earn cash prizes for their schools, and all winning submissions will be featured at a special event on March 26th at the Basketball Hall of Fame. Additionally, they will be broadcasted on 22 News, the CW Springfield, and WWLP.com. The winning poster design will also be displayed throughout Hampden County.
