The Americanism Elementary School Poster Contest
The National Society Elementary School Poster Contest was developed to help stimulate interest in American History in support of the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grade Curriculum. This competition was begun to aid studies at that grade level. If American History is taught in lower grades at selected schools, an entry may be accepted for the competition. This Contest also includes Cub Scouts, Brownies, Children of the American Revolution, and other youth organizations recognized by the NSSAR Americanism Committee in addition to public, private, parochial, or home schools.
Participants from organizations other than schools must be of equivalent age for 3rd, 4th or 5th grade, whichever year that they teach American History in the specific school district. If they teach American History in lower grades at selected schools, an entry may be accepted for the competition at the discretion of the NSSAR Americanism Committee. Judging of ALL entries will be on an equal basis regardless of point of origin.
The theme for the Poster Contest rotates annually based on whether the school year ends in an even number or an odd number.
For academic years ending in even numbers:
The theme shall be "Revolutionary War Event or Events". (E.g., 2019-20)
For academic years ending in odd numbers:
The theme shall be "Revolutionary War Person or Persons". (E.g., 2018-19)
The National Americanism Committee highly suggests that each state society chose a specific topic
within the confines of each above stated topic for ease of judging on the chapter and state levels.
