We are seeking middle school students throughout Northeast Ohio to take part in the Pause to Click Multimedia Contest, which challenges youth to create artwork, songs, and public service announcements that share the seat belt message with their peers. Participants must be in 6th, 7th or 8th grade to be eligible.

About the Contest

The Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention Center, lead agency for the Greater Cleveland Safe Kids/Safe Communities Coalition, works with communities, children, and families through education and outreach to decrease injury risk and improve wellbeing.  Pause to Click is part of Rainbow’s Safe Rides for All Kids program, a multifaceted effort to increase restraint use for children of every age by reaching kids and parents where they live, work, and play.  The Pause to Click campaign is funded by a grant from Kohl’s.
