Kiki's Red Ribbon Drug-Free Poster Contest
Enter by November 1, 2025
Winners Announced November 10

The Louisiana Seymore D’Fair Foundation celebrates their Kiki Red Ribbon Week School Celebration every year from October 23 - 31 with an annual theme. Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. In honor of Kiki's memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin. Parents then began to form coalitions using Camarena as their model while embracing his belief that one person can make a difference. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Visit SeymoresFoundation.org for support information to implement the program at your school.

​

For this contest, students draw a drug-free poster on regular copy paper. Each Local PTA may submit up to 3 winners per Grade Division.
