To celebrate 200 years of the N.H. State House, the bicentennial commission held a poster contest for any child between the ages of 5 and 21 who lived in the Granite State and was a public, private or home-school student in kindergarten through 12th grade. The theme was “The New Hampshire State House and Its Meaning Today.” Students from across the state submitted posters for regional competition and first-, second- and third-place winners were chosen for elementary, middle and high school age groups. The three winners from each moved on to the state competition, where a first-, second- and third-place poster was selected for each school level. After stops at the State House and State Board of Education, the posters are now hanging at the State Library through Oct. 13.
