Rules :: Poster


  • All entries must address one or both of the following contest prompts:  (1) Tell California leaders why you and your peers are One in a Million, and (2) Why should California leaders save you and your peers a spot in college?" (To meet our state's workforce needs, California needs one million additional college graduates by 2025. Each student who successfully completes college is One in a Million.) 
  • Each student may submit one entry per category (written word, poster, TV ad).
  • Poster entries must be submitted by individuals only - no group entries in this category will be accepted.
  • Posters must be on paper that is 11x17 inches. 
  • Posters must be flat and be able to be folded and rolled. (Posters with 3-D materials or foam-boards will not be accepted.)
  • All artwork must be your own original work.
  • The back of your poster MUST be clearly labeled with your full name, school name, grade, and phone number (write directly on the poster itself).
