Farmington Hills Seventh-grader Wins Michigan’s Radon Poster Contest
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), has named the winner of the 2025 Michigan Radon Poster Contest.
Shraddha Vinod, a seventh-grader at Warner Middle School in Farmington Hills, produced the winning entry in the Michigan 2025 Radon Poster Contest. Shraddha’s poster titled, “Radon is a Silent Killer” was selected from a total of six entries submitted from across Michigan.
The six radon poster submittals were evaluated on radon messaging, content accuracy, visual communication, reproducibility and originality. Posters also could not contain grammatical or typographical errors, registered trademarks or logos, or copyrighted imagery.
Shraddha’s poster has been forwarded on to the National Radon Poster Contest, hosted by the Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD), where it will compete with other state radon poster contest winners from across the United States. The National Poster Contest entries are competing for cash prizes for the first, second and third place winners. The winner of the National Radon Poster Contest will be announced in January 2026 during Radon Action Month.
