Congratulations Last Year's Winners!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

The Fair Housing Council's (FHCO) annual Fair Housing Poster Contest is open to students in grades 1 through 8. Each of ten children win cash prizes and hundreds of the Grand Prize Winning posters are printed in full color and distributed each year.

"Fair Housing" is the name for the civil rights laws that protect people's right to live where they choose.  Each year, we invite school-aged children to submit unique artwork illustrating a fair housing-related theme. 

Prizes are awarded in three different age groups.  The deadline is in March each year, in order for review and publication of the Grand Prize winning poster for distribution by April, which is National Fair Housing Month.
