Online voting for the top five posters from each level (elementary, middle and high) took place during National Magnet School Month. Voters had to vote on which poster best addressed the criteria. Students had to adhere to theme as well as provide a clear and concise message that articulated the theme well. They also voted on originality and organization as well as the use of color and design.
