The Osceola Library System is running a Severe Weather Awareness contest for students in grades K‑12. Participants may draw, paint, or create digital artwork that shows how to prepare for lightning, marine hazards and rip currents, thunderstorms and tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding, extreme temperatures, or wildfires. Each entry must include a written safety message to help teach others about severe‑weather safety and preparedness.
Submissions are accepted from Monday, December 1 through Wednesday, January 17 via the Biblioboard submission page. The contest is partnered with Osceola County Emergency Management and is intended to help promote Severe Weather Awareness Week in early February 2026. The winning artist will be invited to an Osceola Board of County Commissioners meeting, have the artwork shared on county social media and displayed at the winner’s local library.
