Lawmaker Encourages Students to Share “Why I Love the Land of Lincoln”
MARION, IL – State Rep John Bradley invites all local sixth, seventh and eighth grade students to participate in his annual poster contest. The contest provides an opportunity for students to express creatively why they love the “Land of Lincoln.”
“President Lincoln is an important figure in our state’s rich history” Bradley said. “The Lincoln poster contest honors his legacy while students learn about his lasting impact on our state and nation.”
The contest rules are very simple and allow for students to express their creativity. Posters should be no larger than 11×17 inches and should reflect the theme of “Why I Love the Land of Lincoln.” The winners will be chosen by members of Bradley’s Education Advisory Committee, who will select one winning poster from the district and one winner from each school.
The district-wide winner will be invited to spend a day in Springfield serving as an honorary page for the Illinois House of Representatives. Posters are due in Representative Bradley’s local district office located at 501 W. DeYoung, Suite 5, Marion, Illinois, no later than Friday, February 22nd.
“Lincoln was a man who struggled though much adversity but never lost sight of what was right and what was important,” Bradley said. “His resolve is an inspiration that I think all children should study and learn from. This contest provides one way to bring his legacy to life.”
