Be part of history! Design a poster to celebrate a century of accomplishment and service by museums in the United States as part of the American Association of Museums Centennial in 2006.

The winner of the competition will be awarded $1,000. The winning poster will be printed and distributed to all participants at the 2006 annual meeting in Boston. All finalists will receive Certificates of Excellence.
