PEMA: Pennsylvania Contest Winner's Poster To Be Displayed Across the State

HARRISBURG, Pa., April 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) today announced that the statewide winner in the weather safety poster contest held earlier this year was submitted by Maximilian Marcieski, a 5th-grader from West Hempfield Elementary School in Westmoreland County.

"We were so impressed by the poster submissions that came in to us," said PEMA Director Richard D. Flinn Jr. "The students who took the time to participate in this contest should be commended for their creativity and clarity in sharing this important safety message."

The contest focused on the safety message "When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors" and was open to all Pennsylvania students in grades 1-6. PEMA received more than 180 submissions, which were initially judged at the agency's regional offices to select finalists by grade, which were then judged at PEMA headquarters last month by emergency management partners.

The winning poster, which is available online at www.ReadyPA.org, will be displayed at Pennsylvania State Parks, Forest Lands, Welcome Centers, and Rest Stops throughout the summer, when outdoor activities and lightning are most prevalent, to remind people of the dangers of lightning.

For his efforts, Marcieski won a cash prize of $500. Other winners by grade level and their corresponding prizes are listed below. The cash prizes were made possible with generous support from AccuWeather, Price Chopper Supermarkets, the PA Turnpike Commission, and the PA Association of Broadcasters Foundation. Flinn thanked the following organizations for their assistance in making the contest a success: the state departments of Education, Transportation and Conservation and Natural Resources; American Red Cross; United Way of Pennsylvania; Keystone Emergency Management Association; and National Weather Service.
