What Makes For An Award-Winning Poster?

The relevance of your poster to the theme.

Creativity and originality.

Legibility: keep the poster’s slogan brief, and use large, simple text.

Visual clarity: use media that provides consistent, broad coverage in bright, bold, and rich colors.

How To Participate:

K-6 public, private, and homeschool students are eligible if they live or attend school within our service area.

Teachers will be notified once finalists are announced. Community-voting to select the winners takes place online and teachers of winning students will be notified when voting closes.

Honorable Mentions, Finalists and student Winners will be recognized at our Free Annual Open House & Student Showcase in March. After Open House, all honorable mentions from Ontario will be entered into the City of Ontario’s Water Conservation Poster Contest for a chance to win a prize.
