The ESOP Association
The EOM Poster Contest
Employee Ownership Month Poster Contest
Every October, TEA and member companies celebrate the spirit of employee ownership. TEA’s annual poster competition highlights the poster that best embodies ESOP culture and the values of employee ownership, and we will showcase the winning design throughout our October EOM events and online communications.
The program will now accept submissions in PDF format instead of physical poster boards, while keeping the annual poster competition otherwise unchanged.
The submission must be a printer-ready PDF (resolution of at least 300 DPI, printed size will be 18x24) showing the meaning of employee ownership. Any images used must not violate copyright or trademark laws.
The winning poster submission will be announced in September 2026.
Please reach AACE@esopassociation.org you have any questions, technical issues, or feedback to share about submission process for the AACE Awards.
Open Date: March 1, 2026
Close Date: June 30, 2026
Congratulations to our 2025 Winner: Software Engineering Professionals (SEP)
Software Engineering Professionals (SEP) of Westfield, IN, was chosen as the winner of this year’s Employee Ownership Month poster contest. Their poster was chosen from more than 30 submissions.
The judges found SEP’s creative imagery paired with the uplifting message, “Together, We Shape the Light of Tomorrow.” to be very inspiring. Together, they felt the poster really conveyed the collective efforts of employee owners to create a brighter future for themselves and others.
The 2026 EOM poster competition will open alongside the AACE competition in February of 2026. For more information, please visit esopassociation.org/awards.
