National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest
Win a free trip! Florida’s fifth grade students are invited to take part in a poster contest in honor of Missing Children’s Day. The winner from the State of Florida will win a free trip to Tallahassee for Florida Missing Children’s Day in September and will be eligible to win the national prize: a trip to Washington D.C.
This competition is open to fifth grade students only. All contest entries must be postmarked by January 31, 2011. The poster must be 8 ½ by 14 inches and include the words “Bring Our Missing Children Home”. Only hand drawn posters will be considered. Florida will select one winner to be forwarded to the national competition. For the full rules visit the Department of Justice website. Students should check with their school to determine whether their area has a school or district competition prior to submitting their entry to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
