The Canadian Legion continues to sponsor Remembrance Day Poster and Literary (and now Video) Contests for Canadian students. Submissions are judged locally and winning entries move onto provincial and possibly national levels.
Students from St. Mary Catholic High School have the opportunity to submit entries to the Intermediate (grades 7, 8, and 9) and the Senior (grades 10, 11, and 12) categories.
The winning entries for the four categories are displayed at the Canadian War Museum from July 1 to May 1 of the following year. For the poster contest, the second place winners, and any receiving an Honourable Mention, are also displayed in the foyer of the House of Commons during the annual Remembrance period in November. As well, The Legion sponsors a trip to Ottawa for the Senior Winners in the four contests (two poster, essay and poetry) to attend the National Remembrance Day Service where they place a wreath on behalf of the youth of Canada. They also have an opportunity to meet and visit with the Governor General. In addition to above honours, winning entries will also receive monetary prizes ranging from $150 - $1000!
Please submit high school poster submissions to Mrs. Chartrand by October 31, 2016. All entries will be picked up the following day; therefore, no late posters are able to be accepted.
