The Bullhead City Police and Fire Departments are inviting young artists to get creative and take a stand against drugs. Students in fourth grade and below are encouraged to create an original sticker design promoting a drug free lifestyle. The winning design will be professionally made into a sticker and shared with children throughout our community during Red Ribbon Week. 

 

Entries can be dropped off at the Bullhead City Police Department lobby, 1255 Marina Boulevard, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Students and classrooms who submit their artwork in person will also receive a small gift at the Police Department lobby.

Submission deadline: October 2nd

The artist’s information should be written on the back of the artwork, including their full name, age, school, grade and contact phone number.

The winning design will be professionally produced as a sticker and distributed during Red Ribbon Week activities throughout the community, including at Halloween events, and featured on social media. The winner will also receive a $50 gift card to Walmart, courtesy of Bullhead City Shop with a Cop.

Students in 5th and 6th grades also have a creative opportunity to enter the Fire Department’s annual Community Risk Reduction design contest where the winning safety message artwork will be proudly displayed on a Fire Department vehicle. For more details, contact the Bullhead City Fire Department.

 

We are looking forward to seeing the creativity and powerful messages from our young artists.

 

* The Red Ribbon Campaign is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program. The campaign began in 1985 after the murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena by drug traffickers in Mexico. Red ribbons became a symbol of intolerance toward drug use and continue to represent the commitment to living a drug free life.
