GORHAM, ME — A powerful traveling art exhibit designed to raise awareness about teen driver safety is currently on display at Gorham High School. The exhibit features over 75 paintings and drawings, all created by high school seniors who were winners of the annual Arrive Alive Creative Contest, sponsored by the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein. The celebrated artwork has been showcased in schools, libraries, malls, and other public venues across Maine, with the goal of promoting safe driving habits to drivers of all ages in all 16 counties.

Now in its 21st year, the Arrive Alive Creative Contest invites graduating high school seniors throughout Maine to create a project that depicts the dangers of drinking and driving or distracted driving. Seniors can enter a creative project of their choice, including essays, poems, paintings, videos, songs, public service announcements, t-shirt designs, and more. First-place winners receive a new laptop computer, second and third-place winners receive a new iPad, and everyone who enters the contest wins fun prizes from the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein.

In the past 20 years, the contest has received more than 1,500 entries from over 125 high schools across Maine, with more than $200,000 in prizes awarded to graduating high school seniors. The contest not only highlights the creativity of Maine’s youth but also serves as a platform to address the ongoing tragedy of preventable driving accidents in communities throughout the state.

“The work we see in the Arrive Alive Creative Contest is incredibly moving and real,” said attorney Ben Bornstein. “Our goal is to help raise awareness and educate teenagers about the dangers of distracted driving in their formative driving years. Our traveling art exhibit highlights the dangers teenagers face when behind the wheel and is inspiring in its peer-to-peer messaging.”
