Ohio Attorney General Yost
Student Design Contest for ‘Stop Bullying’
License Plates
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — Ohioans will soon have an option to spread the “Stop
Bullying” message on license plates, and an Ohio child will be the
artist responsible for the design.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost today announced his office is joining
with the Ohio Education Association offering a design contest for
students to create the logo and slogan that will appear on Ohio license
plates later this year. Children enrolled in kindergarten through the
fifth grade in the current school year are eligible to participate.
“No one likes a bully,” Yost said. “Through the creativity of our
children, we can offer Ohioans this new way to push back against
bullying behavior.”
The contest entry asks students to come up with a logo (drawing) and a
short slogan related to the “Stop Bullying” theme.
The winning child will receive a certificate, and his or her artwork
will be used on specialized interest Ohio license plates. Contributions
collected when vehicle owners select these plates will fund grants for
nonprofit organizations, schools and school districts to provide
bullying prevention training programs or similar educational
opportunities.
State Representative Dave Greenspan (R-Westlake) was a primary sponsor
of legislation introduced in 2018 to create the “Stop Bullying” license
plates. A measure implementing that idea became law in March 2019.
Entries must include an artwork sheet and the student’s name, grade,
school and school district, plus the phone number and email address of
a parent or guardian of the student. All entries must be postmarked by
Fri., May 31, and sent via U.S. Mail to:
