The Department of Consumer Protection has announced the winners of its 2008 LAW DAY PHOTO CONTEST, Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr. announced today. First prize goes to Molly Weathered, a junior at Foran High School in Milford. Second place was awarded to Leah Pryor, also a junior, who attends of Amity High School in Woodbridge.

“Thank you to all of the students who submitted photographs that depicted our commitment to protecting Connecticut consumers.” Both finalist entries were images related to the topic of identity theft, Farrell said.

“Identity theft affects about 2,000 people in Connecticut every year, and the cost for repairing one’s good name can be significant in terms of time and trouble, not to mention the out of pocket expense,” he said. “Anything that we can do to educate and support consumers in protecting their personal information has to be a priority.”
