The Missouri Bicentennial Commission is sponsoring a poster contest to commemorate the 200th birthday anniversary of the state of Missouri.
The contest is open to all Missouri students in grades three through 12. 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 COVID-19 pandemic, undoubtedly, complicates the sponsorship process and 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 three through six and two from grades seven through 12. Missouri 2021 will be available on all social media platforms to answer questions, including by email, [email protected]. Complete guidelines and the online submission form can be found on the website, missouri2021.org/bicentennial-poster.
