The Americanism Poster Contest
Grades 3-5
We invite all 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students interested in the American Revolution to participate in the Americanism Elementary School Poster Contest. The contest is open to public school, parochial, home schooled students, Scouts, and Children of the American Revolution within these grades. Young artists with an enthusiasm toward art, a love of American history, or a passion in creative expression should submit their posters to their local chapter of the society to begin the competition. Winners, in turn, will progress to the state contest and, in turn, to the national contest in June at the National Congress. All entries are judged on an equal basis regardless of point of origin.
Participants from other organizations must be of equivalent age for the 3rd, 4th, or 5th grades in the year American History is taught in their school. (If American History is taught in lower grades in a school, an entry may be accepted for the competition at the discretion of the SAR Americanism Committee.) The complete set of rules, along with the application for both the applicant and the sponsoring SAR members, is available below. Deadline for submissions vary locally, so reach out to your local chapter for the details. For academic years ending in even numbers, the theme shall be “Revolutionary War Events.” For academic years ending in odd numbers, the theme shall be “Revolutionary War Person or Persons.”
