Annual Valentine Contest
Each year for the last thirty years, thousands of Worcester schoolchildren in grades 3-6 have submitted their original valentines to the museum’s contest and celebrated Worcester’s role in the History of Valentine-Making. Prizes are awarded to each grade level for historic, contemporary, and verse valentines. There is also a masters’ competition for previous winners. Teacher materials—including program announcements, lesson plans, and valentine histories—are available on our Valentine’s Contest page. For more information, please call 508-753-8278 or e-mail the museum’s Director of Programs.
