Because the fair is being hosted online this year, all submissions (both material submissions and performances) must be taped/photographed. All submissions will be submitted and judged prior to the fair, with the winners posted on the same page(s) as the materials. Since there is no in-person fair, all PreK-12th grade students studying a Native language are encouraged to participate.

All submissions must be accompanied by a submission form. Click on the icons below to link to category descriptions and guidelines, the submissions forms and other useful information.

Please note that due to online platform restrictions we do not have book or essay categories this year.

The 2021 ONAYLF Poster Art theme is “Generations Healing Through Language.”
