EMPHASIS: 2015 National Missing Children’s Poster Contest

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, invites Missouri's schools to participate in the National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest. The 2015 contest is open to all Missouri fifth grade students. Students will create 11 x 14 posters that reflect the 2015 contest theme, “Bring Our Missing Children Home.”

Each participating Missouri school will choose a first place winner and submit that winner to the Highway Patrol’s Missing Persons Unit no later than March 1, 2015. A completed application, found on the Patrol’s Web site, must accompany the poster. Posters shall be mailed to: MSHP Missing Persons Unit, Attn: Clara Land, Q/DDCC, P.O. Box 568, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0568. One Missouri poster will be given an overall first place award, and will then be automatically entered in the national competition.
