Spirit of Mandela Week Poster Contest 2011-Due date March 29th

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (Canada) is proud to present the Third Annual Spirit of Mandela Week Poster Contest. This is an opportunity for students to apply their creative skills in crafting a poster which visualizes the School-Based Program. The theme of this year’s contest is Equity, Inclusion and Diversity. The poster needs to visually demonstrate how we build a world that honours social justice for all.

The winner of the Spirit of Mandela Week Poster Contest will be announced at the official launch of Spirit of Mandela Week – March 28^th, 2011. It will become the official poster for the School Based Program for 2011 and will be distributed in thousands of schools across Canada. The winner will also receive a copy of the poster, which will be sent to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund in South Africa – a great honour!
