The Arizona Department of Transportation is looking for contributions for its seventh safety message contest in which winning entrants have their work displayed on freeways signs throughout the state.

“Safety is a priority at ADOT. Nothing is more important,” ADOT Director Jennifer Toth said.

“We want these messages to spark conversations about safe driving. Real change happens when drivers prioritize safety and choose not to drive recklessly, distracted or impaired.” 

  There is no limit to the number of entries that can be submitted. Follow these guidelines.

• The message must relate to traffic safety.
• Signs accommodate three lines, 18 characters per line.
• #Hashtags, phone numbers and website addresses are not allowed.
• No emojis.

ADOT will select at least 10 finalists, then the public will decide the winners. The two messages that receive the most votes will appear on overhead message boards along Arizona’s highways.

Submit entries through Tuesday, July 25, at azdot.gov/SignContest.
