Theme is “Rail Safety is not a Game”
Students across Chicagoland are asked to put their creativity to work for rail safety and enter the rail agency’s 19th annual Metra Safety Competition.
This year’s contest theme is “Rail Safety is not a Game." Students can win up to $500 in prizes for their original artwork, which will be featured in Metra’s 2027 safety calendar and on Metra’s Saturday/Sunday/Holiday Day Passes. The contest is open to all students in grades K-12 who reside in Metra’s six-county service area. Students submit either hand-drawn or digital artwork. The deadline for submissions is March 29, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
First-place winners will be recognized at the June 2026 meeting of the Metra Board.
