Poster Contest

2025 Theme: “MATH FOR ALL: Inclusivity, Innovation, Impact”

WHO MAY ENTER:

Any NY State student enrolled in a public, parochial, or private school, regardless of grade, who is less than 21 years of age before the deadline date, may submit an entry. Only INDIVIDUAL students may submit entries (no “partner” or “team” entries). In order to give every school district an equal chance, only 12 posters PER GRADE CLASSIFICATION will be accepted from any district. It is suggested that school districts have a preliminary contest to decide which 12 posters are sent. If the district sends more than 12 entries PER GRADE CLASSIFICATION, it will be disqualified.

DISPLAY:

The posters in each classification will be displayed at the 75th AMTNYS Annual Meeting in Rochester, NY from November 7-8, 2025.

PRIZES:

Winners in each grade classification will be decided directly before the start of the conference by the poster contest committee. If you wish to participate on the poster contest committee, please contact Stephanie Franck. There will be a first prize of $75, a second prize $50, and a third prize of $25 for each grade classification. The prizes will be forwarded to the winners at their school.
