Mississippians with a good sense of humor are being called to participate in the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) annual Safety Message Contest, which is set to take place from June 1 to June 15.

For this year’s contest, MDOT is asking for messages to follow themes involving:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted Driving/Texting and Driving
  • Seat Belt Safety
  • Sober Driving
  • Work Zone Safety
  • Turn Signals/Blinkers
  • Left Lane Driving Etiquette

There is no limit to the amount participants can submit, but the messages must follow several guidelines.

These guidelines include:

  • The message must relate to traffic safety.
  • Signs can only accommodate three lines and 21 characters per line, including spaces.
  • Hashtags, phone numbers, and website addresses are not allowed.
  • No emojis.

More information on how to submit messages for the contest will be released on MDOT’s social media @MississippiDOT on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as the starting date nears.
