Sharpen you colored pencils and make sure your markers work! The Gov Doc Kids Group is announcing a poster contest for Constitution Day on September 17, 2008. All kids K-12 are invited to participate.
Each poster should represent how the Constitution affects you and your family. Submitted posters will be judged on content and artistic design and should be submitted on 8 ½” x 11” paper . Final entries must be postmarked by October 1, 2008. Winners will receive a certificate and two copies of their poster. While this is a national and international contest, local schools, and libraries are encouraged to hold their own local contests and award ceremonies.
The entry form and details regarding how to enter can be found in the following link: http://govdocs4children.pbwiki.com/Celebrate+Constitution+Day+with+us!
