NFCC 2011 Be Money-Wise National Financial Poster Contest

As a parent, you know your children will learn the importance of making smart money choices through experience. But did you know financial experts agree that starting early in life is one of the keys to later financial success? I’m contacting you today on behalf of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) to alert you and your readers about a fun chance for children of all ages to get a head start towards a smart financial future!



In an effort to increase interest in financial literacy to our nation’s youth, the NFCC is once again sponsoring the 2011 Be Money-Wise National Financial Literacy Poster Contest and has chosen “Be a $uperhero! $ave Money!” as this year’s theme. The contest is a great way to get young students thinking about how to manage money effectively, and offers them a creative outlet to demonstrate their knowledge. The contest also provides the opportunity for local and national recognition for student artwork, and rewards the winners with US savings bonds as well as other prizes!


Do you have a child or children in mind that you feel has the talent and creativity to win? All school-aged children in grades 3-12 are eligible to enter with local and national winners to be chosen from each of three grade categories. Students from public, private, and home-schools are welcome. Entries will be judged by expression of the theme (above), artistic style, creativity, and must be submitted through an NFCC Member Agency for judging. *The submission deadline for poster entries is in February 2011, varying by each specific member agency. 

National finalists will be judged in Washington, DC in mid-March and placed in contention for three national awards, one per each of the three grade categories. An overall national winner will then be chosen from the three category winners. The winner will be presented with the national award plaque as well as a $500 savings bond during Financial Literacy Month in Washington, DC at the JumpStart Coalition’s Annual Awards Dinner in April!


Parents are encouraged to visit www.moneywisepostercontest.org to find rules, entry forms, and submission details. I look forward to working together to get the word out about 2011’s contest.

Encourage a child to get involved today!

Join them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!

Check out the 2010 winners!

Sue Scheff: Wealth Quest for Teens


A lifetime of financial freedom, starting now!

WealthQuest for Teens offers powerful programs on money management and wealth building for teenagers, ages 14-19. Narrated by and for teens, these programs provide an educational foundation upon which young people can begin to build and celebrate wealth responsibly---in a way that comes from a commitment to themselves, the people in their lives, and the world community. While there are many books and expert advice for teens about budgeting, saving, and investing money, our seminars provide the missing link between knowing this information and making it happen in real life. The online seminar and the DVD are FUN, FRESH & ENGAGING programs that teens will love!!
