3rd Grade Postcard Contest Winners

Over 1,000 entries and 15 students were selected to win the 3rd grade AHS Arizona Postcard Contest. These talented young artists were chosen for their outstanding creativity and thoughtful designs celebrating Arizona's history and the 5 C's.
Prizes include:
- A hosted Pizza Party (courtesy of the Historical League)
- A swag bag filled with art supplies and Arizona Historical Society goodies
- Their winning design is professionally printed on postcards available for purchase at any Arizona Historical Society Museum.

This was the Arizona Historical Society 4th annual postcard contest for Arizona 3rd graders. Aligning with Arizona Department of Education History and Social Science standards, lessons were developed to teach students about the use of postcards during the time of Arizona’s Statehood.

Students were asked to create a postcard to show what they had learned about Arizona (5 C’s of Arizona, 22 tribes of Arizona, History, Geography from prehistoric times to now).
