Animal Control Poster Contest

Be Kind to Animals Week contest stresses animal kindness

Caption: "Don't take the risk.  Put a leash on your dog."

Each April, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Section holds its 17th annual "Be Kind to Animals" poster contest for elementary school students in unincorporated Jefferson County.

Animal Control sponsors the competition to help promote National Be Kind to Animals Week.  Elementary school children were encouraged to incorporate their ideas of what it means to be kind to animals into a poster design.

A panel of judges chooses a first-, second- and third-place winner from each class that entered the contest.  The panel includes animal control officers, Sheriff's Office staff and representatives from the Table Mountain Animal Center in Golden.  Ribbons are awarded to each winner, and all winning posters are displayed in various Jefferson County government buildings during Be Kind to Animals Week.
