• Children’s Fair Housing Poster, Essay and Video Contest. Each year the Wisconsin Fair Housing Network sponsors a Fair Housing Poster and Essay Contest for children in grades K-12, including special education. Beginning in 2013, videos have been added to the contest. A school, local unit of government, neighborhood organization or other community group may sponsor a Fair Housing Poster, Essay and/or Video Contest at the local level and then submit the top winning entries to the statewide competition. Winners of the State Fair Housing Contest may receive framed certificates and other awards at a special ceremony typically held at the state Capitol in June, and the posters, essays and videos may be included in displays, calendars, publications and websites to promote fair housing throughout the year.
