The annual American History Poster Contest is a fun and educational program created to stimulate interest in the founding of our nation. This FREE program is offered as a public service to Teachers and Students. A new poster topic is set every year.
The 2024-25 Topic is
“Lexington and Concord”
April 19, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of the first true battles of the American Revolution, at Lexington and Concord, MA. Students are asked to make a poster about these important battles at the beginning of the American Revolution.
The Gold Country SAR is pleased to provide local teachers with speakers who are knowledgeable on the yearly poster topic. Most of our speakers appear in Revolutionary War costume or uniform. Posters are judged and prizes are awarded at the School, Chapter, State and National levels. A representative of the National Art Education Association (NAEA) is invited to participate in the national poster judging.
