This November, we have the chance to elect candidates who will determine the future of public education. Enter our contest and design a postcard that encourages everyone to vote early and
support candidates who stand with students and educators.

Design a postcard that:

  • Encourages members and allies to vote early for candidates who promise to put students first in the 2022 midterm elections
  • Does not promote any particular candidate or political party, or disparage any person or group
  • Uses all-original text and imagery (no previously published material, or trademarks other than NEA’s horizontal or square logo)
  • Measures 4″ by 6″, is designed in landscape orientation, and contains 8 or fewer color
  • Is blank on the reverse side, to allow for sender’s message, address and postage

All entries must be uploaded via this site (see below) by 5:00 p.m. ET on June 13, 2022. Scroll down to see the official entry form!
