The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) is sponsoring the 2011 BE MONEY WI$E National Financial Literacy Poster Contest. This annual event is a great way to get young students thinking about the importance of saving money, while offering a creative outlet to demonstrate their knowledge. This year’s theme is “Be A $uperhero! $ave Money!”
As a member of the NFCC, GreenPath Debt Solutions is hosting the contest in your community.
Students in grades 3-12 are eligible to enter with local and national winners to be chosen from three grade categories (3-5, 6-8 and 9-12). Entries will be judged on expression of the theme, artistic style and content, and creativity. Posters must be submitted to GreenPath no later than February 11, 2011.
Winners in each grade category will receive a $100 savings bond and a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card. One runner-up in each grade category will receive a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. Local winning grade category entries will be submitted to the NFCC as national finalists.
The national overall contest winner wins an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC with a parent or guardian, in April, as part of National Financial Literacy Month.
