NCTC hosting student poster contest celebrating 100 years

North Central Texas College in Gainesville is celebrating 100 years with a poster contest open to students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Entries into the poster contest are accepted from all NCTC branch campuses, including the campus in Graham. The entry must be a birthday poster celebrating the college’s 100th year.

Only one entry is allowed per student and drawn on an 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper. Drawings must be on one side of the paper and the paper should not be folded. On the back upper right corner of the paper the student should put their name, school, teacher’s name and grade level.

Entries are due by 2 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8 and can be submitted to the school office. Entries can also be mailed or delivered to the NCTC Graham campus at 928 Cherry St.

Awards will be presented for the age divisions of kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth through eighth grade, and ninth through 12th grade.

Ribbons and prizes will be awarded to the top five places in each age division. Awards will also be given to the first and second place winners in each age category.

The first and second place awards for students in sixth through 12th grade will be NCTC scholarships.

Posters will be on display at the NCTC 100th Anniversary Celebration Open House which is being held Wednesday, Nov. 15 at the NCTC Graham campus from 4-6 p.m. All are welcome to attend and winners will be announced at 5:30 p.m. during the open house.

The citizens of Graham voted to join the NCTC service area and approved a branch campus maintenance tax to support the campus in 2009.
