Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias’ 2024 Organ/Tissue Donor Program Student Poster Contest is underway. Letters were sent to all Illinois public and private schools in September. The contest is open to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Entries will be divided into four categories: (kindergarten-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, 6th-8th grade and 9th-12th grade) and judged by a committee of Secretary of State employees. One winner from each category will be announced in January 2024 and invited to a poster unveiling ceremony at the Capitol Building in Springfield. Winners will also receive plaques, an Illinois Blue Book, and $50-$100 gift cards. An overall winning poster will be selected from the four winning entries to be reprinted and distributed to all schools, libraries, and Driver Services facilities in Illinois.

For more information, contact Lauren Gilbert, Organ/Tissue Donor Program office manager, at 217-558-1322 or via email at lgilbert@ilsos.gov.
