Queen Anne’s County Students Invited to Enter 2026 Opioid Awareness Poster Contest

​Middle and high school students in Queen Anne’s County are invited to participate in the 2026 Opioid Awareness Poster Contest, a countywide initiative focused on promoting awareness and prevention through positive messaging.

The contest is open to students in grades 6 through 12 enrolled in public, private, or homeschool programs. Participants are asked to create original posters that promote prevention, hope, and community awareness related to opioid misuse. Artistic experience is not required, and submissions may include drawings, photography, or AI-generated images, provided they follow contest guidelines.

Each participating school or group will select one winner. Middle school winners in grades 6 through 8 will receive a $300 Amazon gift card, while high school winners in grades 9 through 12 may choose a $300 Amazon gift card or a free driver’s education course.

Entries must be submitted by February 14, 2026, at midnight. Posters may be submitted as a hard copy through a student’s school or digitally as a print-quality PDF.

Winning posters may be featured in countywide outreach efforts and will be recognized at a spring meeting of the County Commissioners of Queen Anne’s County.

Full contest details are available at QACGoesPurple.org. The contest is funded by the Queen Anne’s County Drug Free Coalition and the County Commissioners. This is not a Queen Anne’s County Public Schools event.
