Ready Army is Proud to Present Our
2009 Prepared Kids Competition Winners!

The voting results are in and Ready Army is proud to present the winners of the first annual Prepared Kids Competition!

The Prepared Kids Competition is a forum created just for kids to contribute to the Army’s dialogue on emergency preparedness. Prepared Kids from across the globe shared their creativity and unique perspectives by creating entries ranging from drawings to video and poetry. Thousands voted for our finalists. These are the winners as chosen by your vote!

The winners will be translated into products to support the Ready Army campaign and inspire Army Families all over the world to Get a Kit, Make a Plan and Be Informed. Thank you to all Prepared Kids, their families, and the military communities who created entries and took time to vote for their favorite Prepared Kids! Thank you for your enthusiasm and participation—you make a difference!
