Upon completetion of the program students are asked to create posters reflecting the information they learned during the program. Each scholl submits thier four best posters (2 from each grade) that are entered into a Countywide poster contest. The posters are voted on by the public and County employees to determine the Countywide winner. 

The winner is then awarded Great Escape tickets (if they are donated) as appreciation for their hard work and wonderful poster. the student is also recognized at the June Baord of Superivsor;s meeting along with all of the other poster contest first place entries for other schools That student's psoter is then featured on the front page of an annual tobacco prevnetion calendar that is produced and distributed the following school year to over 1500 students.
