Poster and Essay Contest

About the Contest

The annual Dublin Pride Week Poster Contest is open to all K-12 students in Dublin. This contest is a project of the Dublin Pride Week Committee and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) Dublin/San Ramon chapter. All Dublin students in grades K-12 are encouraged to participate.

Essay Contest Details

The Dublin Pride Week Poster and Essay Contest will be postponed due to school closures resulting from the COVID-19 Shelter in Place Order.

Cancelation of the contest should not discourage youth from creating art and essays on the theme.  Should you or your child choose to create for the sake of creating, here is the prompt. In honor of Earth Day’s 50th Anniversary, the selected poster and essay contest theme is “Dublin - Our City, Our Earth”. What actions can you and your family make locally to reduce your impact on climate change globally?
