"Let the women vote!" Poster/Flyer design contest
Your poster could appear on our website!
Women working in the suffrage campaigns created posters, flyers, and handouts so that
they could get their message across to the public. Today, political campaigns use
television, radio, and newspaper advertisements instead. Check out some of the historic
posters and flyers on the website. Then, try out your
public relations skills by creating your own flyer or poster that convinces women to vote
during this election year.
The theme is "Let the Women Vote!" Your poster or flyer may contain artwork,
slogans, and/or a written message. It must fit on one 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheet and may be
in color or black-and-white. Most important, you must include some aspect of women's
suffrage history in your poster!
SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO:
Suffrage: Women of the West Museum, 1536 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO 80202.
Include your full name, address, phone, email address, school name, grade, and teacher.
The winning entries will be published on our Women of the West Museum web site, with
your name, age, school, and hometown.
