Every December, Blackhawk Transport has a Children's Essay content. The rules are:
- 1 Paragraph essay covering the Topic of Safety and what it means to the child for his or her father/mother or grandfather/grandmother to be a SAFE Driver, and for Blackhawk to be a SAFE Trucking Company
- 1 Drawing to go with the essay
- Age Groups of 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15
- Categories of winners per group: 1) Best Message, 2) Most Artistic/Creative, and 3) Overall Winner
- Awards of $75 per category per group, with the overall winner of each group at $150. These will come in the form of Toys“R”Us gift cards.
- A picture of the child, which would be turned in with the essay will have bonus points awarded by the judges, with additional bonus points if the child’s picture is with his/her driving parent/grandparent along with the completed photo release form
- We will also have Awards to the Account Managers for Most Participation, Winners, etc.
