Submissions Requested for The NYPD Campus Sexual Assault Poster Contest With $5000 in Prizes

The New York City Police Department is inviting undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their artistic talent and their commitment to ending campus sexual assault by participating in the NYPD Campus Sexual Assault Poster Contest.

The goal of the contest is to encourage students to contact the NYPD by calling 911 if they are in immediate danger or the Special Victims Division Hotline at (646) 610-7272 if they are not in immediate danger, but think they have been sexually assaulted. We want victims of sexual assault to speak with Special Victims Division detectives even if they are unsure about pressing charges, and even if they have already reported the incident to their college or university.

The contest starts on September 19, 2016 at 7am EST and ends on October 19, 2016 at 5pm EST. Only posters that meet the contest Official Rules will be considered.
