Stafford said the purpose of the annual contest is to combine art, environmental science, and savvy marketing to engage teens learning to drive to understand the air pollution implications of their new driving privilege.

“Teens learn about Utah’s air pollution challenges, driving and transportation strategies to help preserve Utah’s air quality during the state’s polluted winter inversion season, and they marketing communication strategies for delivering messages with impact,” he said.  “Winning posters are then used for education outreach across the state.”
