Teachers: Sign up Your Students for the MCEE Poster Contest

Great news for teachers considering inviting students to participate in the MCEE Poster Contest – for which registration is now open!

MCEE is excited to announce that the winners of this year’s Poster Contest will have their creative entries displayed during the entire month of April (Financial Education Month) in the lobby of the Louis Goldstein Treasury Building in Annapolis – home to the Comptroller’s Office and State Treasurer’s Office! This honor is a wonderful addition to an already educationally engaging experience for students, infusing financial learning with creativity.

In addition to the display, winners, their teachers, and families will be invited to a reception on March 27 at the Treasury Building to unveil the display, honor students’ achievements, and meet elected officials and legislators. All are welcome, and the display will be open to the public all month long.

Teachers, learn more about getting your students involved in creating original posters that demonstrate their knowledge of personal finance and economics concepts by clicking here. Posters are due on March 1!
