Safe & Wise Water Ways Poster Contest - October 28, 2006 deadline.

 Water-related accidents are the second leading cause of accidental death among people aged 4-19.  An estimated 5,000 children ages 14 & under are hospitalized due to unintentional drowning-related incidents each year.  Help prevent accidental injuries from happening to other kids.  The Department of Boating and Waterways believes that if you teach safety to children while they are young, these lessons will serve to protect them throughout their lifetime.  What better to teach them with than with artwork?  Students in the K-8 grade levels are invited to submit artwork depicting safe boating and aquatic themes.  Entry information is posted on our Department's Web sites www.dbw.ca.gov and www.BoatSmarter.com.  Nine statewide winning entries are chosen (one for each grade level) and featured on an annual poster calendar.
