Parents can pick up the coloring pages at the DMV or print them off from the city's website, and then drop the finished pictures off at the DMV where they will be displayed all month long. Prizes will be awarded in two age groups, 8 & under, and 9 through 14, and the deadline to drop off a coloring is April 26th with winners announced the following week.

The DMV hopes that through education, conversation, and other activities more people will be inspired to check the box to be an organ donor when they renew their driver's license.
