The 2026 Statewide Safety Poster Contest winners have been chosen from more than 100 entries submitted by the children and young relatives of Caltrans employees throughout the state.
Student artists in four age categories entered their designs to local Caltrans representatives, where they were judged at the district level and again by Caltrans Headquarters officials to select the final statewide winners.
The winning designs are included below with photos of the young artists and their related Caltrans employee. Each winner will receive a full-size poster of their artwork – which will first be on display at the Caltrans Workers Memorial on April 23 in West Sacramento.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated this year. The creativity and thoughtful consideration demonstrated by these young people honors our fallen workers and their posters help educate our younger generation about the vital importance of safe driving and highway worker safety.
