2026 Elder-Jones Safety Poster Contest

The grand prize winning design of our 2026 Safety Poster Contest was created by Parker Ash, son of Elder-Jones project manager, Jason Ash. This year’s win is extra special because Parker joins his sister, Samantha, and mom, Krista, who also created winning safety poster designs! Samantha won in 2021 and Krista won back in 1993! Krista’s father, Mark Utne, worked for Elder-Jones for over 30 years and retired in 2017. Congratulations to all the Ashs!

Each year children in our employees lives enter a contest to design our annual safety poster. The entries are voted on by company employees, with prizes given for different age groups. The overall winning poster is displayed on every Elder-Jones jobsite, as well as in our offices, as a reminder to all that safety is our top priority. This year’s theme is “Accidents Hurt, Safety Doesn’t” and we received many fantastic entries conveying the theme. Congratulations to the winners in each category!

We would like to thank Parker and all the participants this year for their creativity!
