Douglas County Commissioners, along with the Public Works Department-Engineering Division and the Douglas County Traffic Safety Commission are excited that the Douglas County Traffic Safety Poster Contest is back after a hiatus due to the pandemic.

The commission has hosted the contest for 45 years with a goal of educating young people about traffic safety. 39 local area students were selected as winners of the contest. The winners were picked by the commission members at a recent meeting. More than $2,600 in cash prizes were awarded to area students.

A video presentation of the winners is on the county government Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DouglasCountyeGovernment/
