Please Note: Due to several requests from parents of past poster contest winners, AAFP Tar Wars has looked into the possibility of submitting National Poster Contest artwork to the United States Postal Service (USPS) for consideration as a stamp. Unfortunately, this process is quite complex and lengthy. In addition, the USPS employs the services of professional artists to render designs for approved stamp subjects that follow strict guidelines for reproduction. As a result, actual poster artwork could not be used as a stamp design. Because of these findings, AAFP Tar Wars has determined this is not a viable option to pursue. However, we do offer the alternative suggestions listed above.
