"In my perfect world we can all be heroes and save each other from drugs! Drugs can make you like a villain or a person that you are not. They make you sick and can even kill you. Let's use our powers to support each other and keep clean from this poison."

"For my poster I wanted to not only tell people not to do drugs, but also encourage them to be kind instead. The poster includes many facts about both drugs and also being nice, as well as a picture of two kids. The one on the left is colored with warm, bright colors to show happiness while she plays with her cat and the one on the right is colored with dark colors to show sadness and is sitting next to an e-cigarette. The picture visually shows the message that being kind and caring will make you happy and drugs can't replicate that."

"The person is trying to get back to how he used to be but drugs are trying to prevent it. For this person, it's hard to get out of drugs and return to how good he used to be. This is why you shouldn't do drugs. Because it's really hard to get out of drug addiction."

High School Winner: Brendan Huber-Wilker, age 18, T.C. Williams High School

"I chose my design in hopes of inspiring others to gaze upon the vast expanse of the night sky and remember what it means to follow their dreams. The poster's design serves as a message to travel life to its fullest extent and that if one does drugs, this journey can never be realized. The silhouette standing atop the mountain is a symbol for those appreciating the beauty of the world around them and enjoying their life to its 'peak' because they chose to be drug free.”
