State Fair Housing Council (SSFHC) invites your students (1st-8th grades) to participate in our 14th annual Fair Housing Poster Contest. Participation in this contest fosters a better sense of understanding, acceptance, and appreciation for the diversity in our neighborhoods and throughout our community.
SSFHC has designed this contest to help the youth of our community understand the rights of all residents of Nevada to have equal access to housing for everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, sex (gender), national origin, family status, or disability.
It is intended to coincide with existing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Black History Month and Civil Rights curricula. All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation. An awards reception will be held to publicly announce the winners, award prizes and celebrate National Fair Housing Month in April.
SSFHC’s 2010 Poster Contest Theme is:
“Fair Housing: Welcome Home”
All entries that meet the contest guidelines will be judged and then displayed throughout the month of April at Reno City Hall, Sparks City Hall, and the Washoe County Administration Building. A Fair Housing Awards reception will be held to publicly recognize the thirteen winners and their artwork will be featured in SSFHC’s 2011 Fair Housing Calendar.
If you would like to participate or need additional information, please contact Joel Lindsey at 775.324.0990.
