Celebrate Safe Communities

Celebrating Safe Communities (CSC) is designed to spotlight communities’ crime prevention efforts, enhance public awareness of vital crime prevention and safety messages, and recruit year-round support for ongoing prevention activities that help keep neighborhoods safe from crime. This initiative will help local communities organize safety-focused events. Local CSC activities held in October to coincide with Crime Prevention Month will help Americans of all ages recognize that a safer community is no accident and that crime prevention is everyone’s business every day of the year.

Participate in our "Celebrating Childhood" themed youth art contest.  Children under 18 can simply submit any original artwork on plain paper 8 1/2" by 11" or photography no larger than 8x10 to our headquarters office at SAFENOWPROJECT, 2300 Main Street, Suite 900, Kansas City, MO 64108 by October 3rd.  Judging will take pace on October 24th and winners will be notified by mail.  There are three age categories for judging:  ages 5-8, ages 9-12, and ages 13 to 18.  Winning artwork will be featured on greeting cards produced by Kansas City-based TLC Greetings and will be scheduled for exhibit at a new gallery and therapy center in northern MO in 2009.  Contact us if you have questions about this project.
