ACT high school poster contest

ACT’s annual high school student poster design contest offers a chance to win thousands of dollars in scholarship money.

Students may design and submit posters using visual designs, artwork and taglines that promote the value of college and the ACT test. Participants must be U.S. high school students who plan to apply for 2012 or 2013 admission to a U.S. two- or four-year institution. Read the rules carefully to better chances of winning.

The student with the winning design will receive a $5,000 scholarship to the college of his or her choice. In addition, the winning design will be used on the poster printed to display ACT test dates during the 2012–2013 school year and distributed to high schools nationwide. Second- and third-place winners will receive $2,500 and $1,000 scholarships.

Winners will be selected based on creativity, visual appeal and overall impact. The official entry form and poster must be postmarked by Jan. 28, 2012. Winners will be announced in March 2012. Contest details are available at actstudent.org/postercontest.
