Poster Contest
The Poster Contest, part of the Legion’s Youth Program, is meant to foster an understanding of
the sacrifices made on our behalf by many young men and women in World Wars I and II, and
the Korean War. To this day, many brave young men and women put their personal security at
risk in the name of peace and humanity in places like Bosnia, Cyprus, Haiti, East Timor,
Afghanistan, etc.
When are the contests held?
Contests are held each year just prior to Remembrance Day by local Legion branches throughout
Ontario Command. Winners of local contests have the opportunity to compete against other
branch level winners at zone level, zone winners participate at district level, district winners at
provincial level and provincial winners then compete at the Dominion or national level
Literary Contest
The Annual Poster and Literary Competition provides an opportunity for students in the four Education classifications of Primary, Junior, Intermediate and Senior to demonstrate their understanding of Remembrance. It is also open to students who are Home Schooled.
Students in the Primary, Grades 1 – 3 can do so through their Art in the form of the Black and White or the Colour Poster category.
Starting in Grade 4, with the addition of both Poetry and Essay Writing categories, the Junior, Intermediate and Senior students can use both their Artistic and their Literary talents.
Starting in Grade 7, with the addition of the Video category, the Intermediate and Senior students can use their creative talents to produce a video submission between 30 seconds to two minutes in length.
Students may enter in any or all the available categories, in which they are eligible, but may submit only once in each.
