2008 SPIRIT of the JERSEYS
Student Art Contest

Special Announcement

To allow for a greater variety of programming at the NJ State History Fair, we will not be sponsoring a Student Art Contest this year. We would like to thank those teachers and students who participated these past four years. While we are not sponsoring the contest, we encourage NJ’s teachers and their students to come to the fair and get their hands-on history. It’s a great way to learn about NJ’s past and have fun doing it. Next year’s fair will feature several new activities, as well as the return of some popular favorites. Thank you again for your past interest and support.
