The Department's Bureau of Environmental Radiation-Radon Program will sponsor a radon poster contest in partnership with Kansas State University and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The goals are to raise awareness about the harmful effects of elevated levels of indoor radon gas and to increase the number of homes tested for radon.

Applicants should submit posters to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Radon Section at the following address where they will be judged for entry in the national contest:

• Select prizes will be given to the first, second, and third place winners, as well as to the club, organization, or school with the most entries.



• New Jersey winners will be entered into the national contest. The national winners will receive select prizes and award plaques, and their posters will be reproduced for national distribution.



• Deadline for entries is October 31, 2011.
