Idaho's Missing Persons Clearinghouse and the

Identification invites entries from Idaho's
fifth graders for the 2015 National Missing
Children Poster Contest.
The United States Department of Justice sponsors

issue of missing children, child safety and the
AMBER Alert Program. The contest raises
awareness about child safety and exhibits
America's effort to bring missing children home
safely while highlighting the importance of
education programs focused on prevention.
Student involvement in the poster contest
promotes peer education, while inviting students
to explore and understand the theme "Bring Our
Missing Children Home."
Contest details, application forms and an
activity guide for 1st through 5th grades are
available on the Idaho Missing Person
Clearinghouse website at
www.isp.idaho.gov/BCI --look

Or, one may also call the Missing Persons
Clearinghouse at 208-884-7137. Entries are due
no later than February 27, 2015 and the winner
will be announced March 6, 2015.
The winning poster of the Idaho Poster Contest
will then be entered into the national contest
for judging. The national winner along with
their teacher and parents will travel to
Washington, D.C., to receive an award and
participate in the Missing Children's Day
ceremony on May 25, 2015.
