United States Savings Bonds: Difference between revisions

==Annual poster contest==

From 1991 through 2000, the Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt announced an Annual U.S. Savings Bonds Student Poster Contest each fall to promote the sale of bonds with a specified theme. Each spring, nearly $100,000 was distributed to winners in grades 4 through 6 across all fifty states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Winners were chosen by state art councils, the news media, sponsors, and volunteers based on criteria of originality, poster design, and visual appeal. The first-place winning artwork from each state was exhibited in Washington D.C., and photographs of the winning posters with names of the artists and their schools were displayed in major airports across the country and the treasury website.<ref>{{cite web |title=Public Debt Begins 10th Annual Savings Bonds Student Poster Contest; Winners Will Receive Close to $100,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds |url=https://www.treasurydirect.gov/news/2000/release-11-15/ |website=treasurydirect.gov |access-date=October 20, 2023 |date=November 15, 2000}}</ref>
