Bicentennial Commission launches student poster contest
COLUMBIA – The Missouri Bicentennial Commission announced the bicentennial poster contest is open to all students in grades 3-12 in Missouri.
Judges will select four posters to commemorate Missouri’s bicentennial of statehood. Selected posters will best interpret the theme: “Sharing Missouri’s Stories: Past, Present and Future.”
Each student entry must be sponsored by an eligible institution, which includes public and private schools, home-school networks, nonprofit arts agencies, cultural heritage institutions and public libraries. The commission welcomes sponsoring organizations to help facilitate the contest while students are at home during this time.
The competition runs now until Oct. 31. Judges will select the final designs: two from grades 3-6 and two from grades 7-12.
Missouri 2021 will be available on all social media platforms to answer questions, including email: contact@ missouri2021.org. Complete guidelines and the online submission form can be found at missouri2021.org…
