Calling All Creatives

Annual Poster Contest: Riparian Zones and Why They Are Magical is Now Open!

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.

Posters that show the connection between water and the flora and fauna that depends on it.

How To Participate:

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

New eligibility guidelines! Before you submit student posters, please ensure there is a student information card attached to the back of each poster. Posters MUST be labeled to be considered.

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. 

Prizes include $100 cash for winners at each grade level, $75 gift cards for teachers who submit at least 10 student entries, and $175 gift cards for the teachers of the winning students from each grade level.
