Fair Housing Posters Contest

During the next month, the Fair Housing Council of Oregon is encouraging students in grades 1-8 to enter the 12th Annual Fair Housing Poster Contest. The theme this year is "Fair Housing Rocks! It's Our Right to Choose Where We Live." To enter, students must create a 12" x 18" poster that addresses the theme and educates young Oregonians about their rights to equal housing. Winners will have their entries placed on display across the state during the month of April, and three cash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries: $75, $50, and $25. The contest deadline is March 11. For full information and examples of previous winners, please visit http://www.fhco.org/contest.htm.
