Winners Announced for 2022, Fourth Annual PWCS Poster Contest Celebrating National Foreign Language Week
Posted on 03/21/2022
2022 National Foreign Language Week Poster Contest Winner for the High School, Digital Division

This year’s National Foreign Language Week poster contest for middle and high school students was based on the theme: “Celebrate Humanity through Language.” PWCS schools celebrate National Foreign Language Week each spring by organizing a variety of school-wide activities that showcase the language diversity of the students and staff in their school communities and the world languages studied in their schools.

The student poster contest allows any student studying one of the 10 languages offered in PWCS to use his or her art skills to design a poster representing the theme. Contest rules require the theme to be showcased and other graphic parameters. This year, digital submissions were also accepted and judged separately from paper posters.

This year’s winners are as follows:

Each year, middle and high schools hosted their own poster contest and selected their school winner using rubrics. Then, each school’s first-place winner was entered in the Division Poster Contest. This year’s Division-level judges included Jasmine Hawkins, administrative coordinator for the arts, Phyllis Fenner, retired high school French teacher and department chair, and Erick Foronda, interim Spanish teacher.

Thank you to all students, teachers, and judges who made this year’s contest possible, and congratulations, winners!
