World Food Day Poster Contest
We invite children age 5-19 to participate in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN’s poster contest in honor of World Food Day! You will need to submit your poster through the FAO website as well as to the NWI Food Council.
We want children to use their imagination and create a poster that illustrates their idea of what needs to be done to make healthy diets available for everyone and how each of us can improve our diets.
Take a photo or scan your poster and submit your entry by November 8, 2019.
Three winners in each age category will be selected by our jury and announced here in December. Winners will be promoted by FAO offices around the world and receive a surprise gift bag and Certificate of Recognition.

All participants are encouraged to read about the World Food Day theme in the World Food Day Activity Book Younger children may want to learn together with a parent or teacher.
Working on an A4 sheet or an 8 ½ inches by 11 inches sheet is recommended, to make it easier for you to scan and upload your poster design. If your poster is larger, you may have to take a digital photo of the work and upload the photo file.
