More than 90 students attending high schools in Salt Lake City created poster-size works of art for the Department’s annual “know more, kNOw DRUGS” contest. To view every submission, visit the Department’s Flickr page.

The Department will use the contest’s winning entries in a public awareness campaign about the consequences of drug use and abuse.
