Annual Poster Contest for NDEAM

Disability Employment Awareness Month Poster Contest

National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is observed each year in October to celebrate the contributions of workers with disabilities and educate about the value of a workforce inclusive of their skills and talents.

The Governor’s Council on Disability (GCD) has initiated a poster contest to celebrate Disability Employment Awareness Month in Missouri. The posters are intended to spark a conversation about employment of people with disabilities. The poster contest is open to all Missouri residents. The artwork shall relate to employment inclusion/the significance of employment for people with disabilities.

The GCD will select the winning artwork from all entries through a submission and judging process. Please see submission guidelines below.  The winning artwork, along with information about the artist, will be featured on a poster that will be promoted statewide during the month of October.
