The winning poster designs will be featured in more than 2,000 schools in the region to encourage safety around trains. The designs will also be featured in Metra's annual safety calendar, included in Metra's downloadable safety screensaver, and displayed in Metra train stations throughout Northeastern Illinois.

First, second and third place winners were chosen from each grade level. While first place winners receive a laptop computer, the second and third place winners received $250.00 and $100.00 gift cards respectively.
