Poster Contest for Grades K-8

Submissions Due June 30, 2020
 
This contest is a great chance for students to have their artwork displayed as part of a national conservation outreach initiative and is modeled after the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Poster Contest.
 
This year's theme is: "Where would we BEE without Pollinators?"

Posters will be evaluated based on the conservation message, visual effectiveness, originality, and universal appeal. Contest rules are below, or click the button to learn more.

All public, private, and homeschool students currently in grades K-8, in Merrimack County, are invited to participate. MCCD will select one winning poster in each of the following grade categories: K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-8. Winners in each category will receive a $50 prize.
