As part of its 2027 Housing America campaign, NAHRO will hold a poster contest for children associated with affordable housing and community development programs owned or administered by national NAHRO member agencies. Posters will reflect the national theme of “What Home Means to Me.” The contest is a collaborative effort of NAHRO’s chapter/state, regional, and national organizations. National honorees will be selected from chapter/state-level winning entries. To be eligible for national honors, all entries must come through the local chapter.
Contest Overview:
Local/state NAHRO chapters may submit entries to their regional council. The regional councils hold separate contests and send their top three winners (one from each age category) to National NAHRO. National NAHRO holds a contest to pick the 13 national winners. National NAHRO will not accept submissions from individual housing authorities. Any submissions sent directly to national NAHRO will be disqualified.
Promotional Materials
NAHRO has created a customizable poster contest flyer, linked below, for member agencies, state organizations and regional councils to fill with their contest information and distribute to interested residents or agencies. The flyer is available in three formats, to accommodate organizations with different levels of software access:
Note: Fillable PDF fields do not always work in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, or other browsers, even with the Adobe extension. We recommend downloading the file, and filling it in Adobe Acrobat or a similar PDF editing program.
Eligibility and Selection Categories:
Contest participation is open to all children in grades K-12 residing in affordable housing assisted directly, supported under community development, or participants in affordable housing programs administered by a NAHRO member authority (i.e., public or Section 8-assisted housing CDBG, HOME, LIHTC). Entries must be created by only one person. Entries created by two or more people will not be accepted.
