Bradford House seeks students for annual poster contest
The Bradford House Historical Association is holding its annual Student History Poster Contest for intermediate/middle school and high school students.
The contest is open to all middle school students (grades 5 to 8) and high school students (9 to 12), including those enrolled in public, parochial, cyber and home-school programs. Eligible students must reside in Washington, Fayette, Greene, Allegheny or Westmoreland counties.
Students are asked to research a topic of Western Pennsylvania history between 1750 and 1850.
Students also may register by mail by submitting a completed poster registration form to Bradford House, PO Box 537, Washington, PA 15301, or by emailing the form to education@bradfordhouse.org.
Completed posters must be delivered in March to the association meeting house, 182 S. Main St., in Washington.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries in each division: first place, $75, second place, $50, and third place, $25.
In honor of America250, there will be a special $50 prize awarded for the project that best presents a topic related to the nation’s founding.
