National radon video, poster contests open

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment invites students to participate in the 2022 National Radon Video and Poster contests. Students have the opportunity to creatively educate people about indoor radon risks, win cash prizes and have their artwork and videos distributed across the state or country. Entries must be received by Nov. 20.

The contests are designed to raise awareness about the importance of radon testing and to inform people of the dangers of radon in their homes.

Students may enter the Colorado contest, and the  winning poster and video representing Colorado will be entered in the national contest. State winners receive $300 for first place, $200 for second, $100 for third and teachers of students with winning entries each receive $100.

Students ages 9-14 are eligible to participate in the poster contest. This year, there also is a 30-second video contest that is open to students ages 14-18.
