Winning radon poster by Shraddha Vinod, a seventh-grader at Warner Middle School in Farmington Hills. Just in time for National Radon Action Month, 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 contest was open to 6th through 8th grade students.
EGLE Director Phil Roos and EGLE Indoor Radon Specialist Leslie Smith III present a certificate to Shraddha Vinod, the radon poster contest winner, at Warner Middle School in Farmington Hills. “Shraddha’s poster stood out among entries from across the state for its creativity, clarity, and powerful message about protecting our health against radon,” noted EGLE Director Phil Roos, who formally presented the award to Shraddha at the school. “By helping raise awareness, Shraddha is doing something incredibly important: helping families across Michigan stay safe and healthy. “
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.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that is naturally occurring within the soil. It can enter homes and buildings through cracks and openings, and high levels of it in the home can be bad for your health. It is the leading cause of lung cancer for never-smokers. The only way to know if it is in your home is to use a radon test kit.
For more information about radon testing and other information including resources for homeowners, builders, realtors, teachers, and healthcare providers, go to Michigan.gov/Radon, or call EGLE’s Indoor Radon hotline at 800-723-6642 (800-RADONGAS).
