This contest ties in perfectly with your Personal Economics Program activities and is a great lead-in to Financial Literacy Month in April and National Teach Children to Save Day on April 24. The
contest is designed to get young students thinking about how to manage
money effectively and offers them a creative outlet to demonstrate their
knowl-edge. It also offers the opportunity for local and national recognition
for student artwork and rewards winners with US savings bonds and other
prizes. Entries
will be judged on expression of the theme, artistic style, and creativity. All contest entries in the National Financial Literacy Poster Contest must be submitted to an NFCC member agency for judging. The submission deadline for poster entries will be in early March 2007, specific deadlines will vary by NFCC member agency. See the box for a list of member agencies in Tennessee. To locate and contact your local agency, visit www.nfcc.org. National finalists, as submitted by each NFCC member agency, will be judged and placed in contention for three national awards, one per grade category. An overall national winner will also be chosen from the three category winners. The national winner will be flown to Washington, with a parent, and pre-sented with the national award as well as a $500 US savings bond in late April during Financial Literacy Month. National
