Information by State  Print version   Related Information Neighborhood Networks Week 2006 -- Poster Contest Brochure

Do you know a resident who has artistic talent? An abundance of creativity? A desire to have their latest masterpiece decorate the walls of Neighborhood Networks centers across the country?

The annual Neighborhood Networks Poster Contest is an ideal opportunity for residents to express their artistic abilities and possibly win the honor of having their signed artwork placed on display in Neighborhood Networks centers throughout America.

Uniting Neighbors. Strengthening Communities. It's a theme that can be expressed in a multitude of ways using a variety of images. Neighborhood Networks wants to know how residents--those affected most by this life-changing Initiative--would translate this written theme into a visual message.

Neighborhood Networks is encouraging HUD Multifamily Neighborhood Networks centers to invite residents of all ages to create poster that shows how Neighborhood Networks has helped bring neighbors together to create a stronger community. Centers can then enter the posters in the national Neighborhood Networks Poster Contest.

Age Categories

	Children, ages 6-12
	Youth, ages 13-17
	Adults, ages 18-64
	Seniors, ages 65 and older

Entries will be judged on originality, artistic merit, and expression of this year's Neighborhood Networks Week theme--Uniting Neighbors. Strengthening Communities. First-, second-, and third-place winners will be announced for each age category and posted on the Neighborhood Networks Web site.

One poster will be chosen as the overall winner and be printed and distributed to all centers for Neighborhood Networks Week, July 31-August 5, 2006.
