Participants are encouraged to submit their poster on a 8- by-11-inch sheet of white paper in landscape format. Entries will be taken October 1-31.

All winners will be featured in the Porterville Recorder in November.

Entries can be submitted to the Porterville Recorder, Porterville Chamber of Commerce, or the Porterville Parks & Leisure Department. Each submission provided to the Porterville Chamber of Commerce will receive a Step Up bracelet.
