The AATF National FiES Commission is delighted to announce the 2027 Poster Contest for elementary and middle school students of French in kindergarten through grade 8. Students enrolled in public, private, and home schools are eligible. We hope you will encourage your students to participate and support them with some research and learning for the contest. Winning posters will be made into postcards and available through the AATF store.

AATF chapters should publicize the contest. Individual teachers may electronically submit up to three posters in each category to the National FiES Commission Poster Contest which is chaired by Karen Campbell Kuebler (kkcdanser@verizon.net).

Inspired by the 100^th Anniversary of AATF, we celebrate the connection between

the United States and France over the years.
