2010 Poster/Art Contest Rules for 2011 Calendar
2010 Art Contest for 2011 Calendar:
Winners Show that Superstars Abound in Affordable Housing
July 14, 2010, Alexandria, VA – For the 24th year, the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) is proud to announce the winners of its annual art/calendar contest, whose traditional anti-drug message was complemented by the theme “I Can Do Anything I Believe” and a sub-theme of “Become a Superstar.”
Thousands of children and elderly or special needs residents nationwide who live in affordable homes owned or operated by a member of NAHMA and/or a local Affordable Housing Management Association (AHMA) participated in the contest.
This year’s grand-prize winner is Sarah Tucker, a 12th grader who lives in the Council Groves Apartments in Missoula, Montana. Her entry was submitted by Rocky AHMA, and her artwork will grace the cover of NAHMA’s 2011 calendar. She will also receive a $2,500 check for educational expenses from the NAHMA Educational Foundation, which will be presented to her in Washington, D.C. at NAHMA’s fall meeting, October 24-26, 2010.
In addition to Tucker’s cover art, 13 additional winners will have their work displayed on the inside pages of the 2011 calendar. Each of these winners will receive a $1,000 check for educational expenses from the Foundation. Seniors who win will receive cash awards made in the name of their community for use in purchasing a gift that will benefit all of the community’s residents (e.g., books for the library, appliances for a community room, etc.). These winners will also appear in the 2011 calendar.
Artwork that earned an Honorable Mention will be featured in a special section of the calendar.
