This year’s 43rd annual Fernando Mendoza Poster Contest will not merge with National’s. We will follow all of our pre-pandemic requirements, with a Postmark date of April 1, 2023.

There are 3 categories: Elementary (1st-5th grade); Middle School (6th-8th grade); and High School (9th-12th grade).

This is a great opportunity for students to express themselves artistically and connect to language learning. Each slogan is up to the student.

There are certificates for posters that earn a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place rating and a possible $50 award to a grand prize winner – a selection for poster or postcard reproduction.
