The Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) is working in conjunction with the MultiState Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC). They’ve invited students to share what they know about internet safety by participating in the “Kids Safe Online” Poster Contest.
The contest asks students (K–12) to submit hand-drawn or electronically created works that aim to encourage their peers to make safe decisions about posting pictures, videos, and personal information online.
The 2019-20 Commonwealth of Virginia’s “Kids Safe Online” Poster Contest Submissions are due by 12:00 midnight, Jan. 10, 2020. Entries should be emailed to CommonwealthSecurity@VITA.virginia.gov, or mailed to:

Thirteen winning posters will be part of the National Stay Safe Online Calendar. The posters will be distributed throughout the country and used in campaigns to raise awareness among children of all ages about using the computer and internet safely.
