The National Society SAR developed the Elementary School Poster Contest to help stimulate interest in the American Revolution, and to aid students in the study of American History in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grade Curriculum (depending on the grade(s) the subject is taught). The students are expected to research a Revolutionary War Period person or persons, and then design a traditional flexible poster board (22 inches x 28 inches) or a foamed backed poster board (20 inches x 30 inches) that creatively illustrates what they have learned about that person or those persons.

​

This Contest is open to all US Citizen and Legal Resident students attending home schools, public, parochial, or private elementary schools, and also includes Cub Scouts, Brownies, Children of the American Revolution and other youth organizations recognized by the NSSAR Council of Youth Programs Committee. Participants from organizations other than schools must be of equivalent age for 3rd, 4th , or 5th grade, whichever year(s) that they teach American History in the specific school district.

Judging of ALL entries will be on an equal basis regardless of point of origin, and will be based on how the poster describes the selected Revolutionary War figure or figures, shows evidence of their research, originality, artistic merit and creativity, as well as whether the poster is historically accurate, neat and visually pleasing.
The contest is conducted in three phases: local chapter, state-level society and national society. Only one entry per student is permitted per contest year. All entries are to be submitted to a local, Florida, Chapter near the residence of the student entering the contest.

​

Firm deadline for submittal of the application and poster to the Caloosa Chapter Contest Chair is March 31, 2027.
