At the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the State Attorney's Office (10th Judicial Circuit) sponsored a Drug Prevention Video/Poster Contest within the Polk County public, charter, and private middle/senior high schools.
The video contest rules required students in the audio visual departments of the schools to create a 25 second video containing a drug prevention message, while the poster contest required students in the art departments to create either a hand drawn or digitally created poster, also with a drug prevention message.
The contest for both categories ended on October 25th and judging of the submissions took place at the Sheriff's Operation Center on November 8th. Judges for the entries were chosen from the law enforcement, education, and media fields.
The top three video and poster winners will receive the following issued awards from Sheriff Judd during the Wednesday afternoon presentation.
Media is encouraged to attend.
The winning schools will use the award monies for supplies in their audio visual/art departments.
Video Winners
1st Place: All Saints' Academy ($1,000.00)
2nd Place: Stambaugh Middle School ($500.00)
3rd Place: Bartow High School ($250.00)
