Contest rules: 

Any media may be used to create a flat or two-dimensional effect (paint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials on regular posters (no computer only special category)

  • Poster size must be between 8.5" x 11'  and 22' x  28" 
  • Posters hould be packaged so they remain flat when sent for judging
  • All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students.
  • The Stewardship theme must be on your poster.  Personal info should be on the back.
Although younger students will most likely receive help in planning from parents or teachers, NACD encourages each student to do as much of the work as possible by him/herself. Entries completed by students in their handwriting and coloring will score better than those designed, drawn and colored by adult assistance.
On the back of each poster, please print: Student’s name & age, School grade, Student’s home address, Student’s phone number with area code, School’s address and phone number, & Teacher’s name
