The contest is open to students who reside in Washington, Greene, Allegheny, Fayette, and Westmoreland Counties.
Students must construct a presentation on a standard-size trifold display board, register online during January and February, and deliver the project to the Bradford House, 175 South Main Street, Washington, Pennsylvania, in March. See the Poster Rules links below for complete rules, hints for developing a project, a work cited sample, and a list of possible topics.
Online registration is open from January 2 through February 28. You can register for the poster contest by mailing the completed poster registration form (See the Poster Registration link below) to the Bradford House, PO Box 537, Washington, PA 15301, or emailing it to education@bradfordhouse.org.
