Poster Design Contest

The Moving Forward: Suffrage Past, Present, and Future Initiative was established to celebrate and honor the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment (1920) and the 200th birthday of Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820). Goal of the initiative is to acknowledge the history of voting rights activism and what is left to be done to ensure equal voting opportunities and political participation for women.

Possible uses of the poster design include events advertisement, free distribution of the design on postcards, magnets, bookmarks at upcoming series events, possible on-campus display (in print and/or digital), and to increase general interest in the various initiatives carried out through the series.
