Philadelphia Federal Credit Union (PFCU) has announced that its 5th annual art competition will begin on April 1, 2016, to coincide with the first day of National Financial Literacy Month. Picture of Success Art Contest will be open to Philadelphia-area students in grades 3-5 and is designed to teach children how to establish and maintain healthy financial habits. Each student will submit a work of art that depicts one of their financial goals and winners of the contest will receive prizes for their entire classroom, along with a personal $100 savings account. The deadline to submit entries is April 30, 2016.

Since 2012, the art competition has prompted conversations between teachers, parents and young people about the importance of learning and practicing positive financial habits starting at an early age. All Philadelphia-area students in grades 3-5 are eligible to participate, regardless of having a membership at PFCU. Once all entries are submitted on April 30, 2016, a special committee will select ten finalists. On May 9, 2016, the artwork from the ten finalists will be posted on PFCU’s Facebook page for the public to vote on through May 23, 2016. Two winners will be announced on PFCU’s Facebook page on May 24, 2016.
