Enter the NYCDOT Work Zone Safety Billboard Design Competition by 1/17/25

The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) is pleased to invite all New York City high school students in grades 9-12 to participate in the We’re Working Here: Work Zone Safety Billboard Design Competition. The design contest encourages students to develop public service announcements that remind the public to slow down and take caution in work zones. With the majority of New Yorkers coming across work zones daily, we are calling on the next generation of drivers to help educate all roadway users about ways to change dangerous behaviors and prevent work zone intrusions that can lead to injuries and fatalities for both the public and work crews. Please read the agency’s full announcement HERE.

  • Submission deadline is Friday, January 17, 2025.
  • Winning design will be featured on a large-scale billboard as part of New York City’s recognition of National Work Zone Awareness week in April 2025. Cash prize will be awarded to the student’s school.
