Locally, here in Jesup, there will be three age groups: ages 10 and under; ages 11-13 (those go on to state/international contest); and ages 14 and over.

What to draw
The theme for the Poster Contest is Peace Begins with Me.

Artwork should measure no smaller than 13 x 20 inches and no larger than 20 x 24 inches. The artwork should not be framed or matted or folded. It must be able to be rolled for shipping in a mailing tube.

Judging
Posters are judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme.
Use the theme “Peace Begins with Me” to decide what to create. Make sure the size is correct and pay attention to the detail of the work.

Try to create something different from the rest.
