ANNOUNCING: Santa Clara County Art Contest For High Schoolers

News submitted from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office:

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office invites local high school students to create a poster that will raise awareness on the issue of Human Trafficking.

First prize will receive $500, and the winning poster will be prominently used in the District Attorney’s Human Trafficking Awareness Campaign. The second place winner will receive $300, and the third place winner will receive $200.

“Human traffickers take away freedom from some of our most vulnerable populations: our poor, our undocumented immigrants, our youth,” Deputy District Attorney Paola Estanislao said. “Awareness is the first step to protecting our communities.”

Entries must be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office by Friday, May 15, 2015.

Winners will be announced on Friday, May 29, 2015. All submissions will be displayed at an upcoming “Justice for All” Art Show at the County of Santa Clara Government Center’s Breezeway located at 70 West Hedding Street in San Jose.

The art show will be open to the public.
