District hosts poster contest
Greene County Conservation District is holding its annual poster contest for students in the county attending kindergarten through 12th grade.
Students enrolled in public, private or home schools are eligible to enter the contest, and posters will be judged in five different grade-based categories.
The top three entrants in each category will receive cash prizes, with first place winning $100, second place $75 and third place $50. The first-place poster from each category will also advance to the statewide poster contest later this year.
The theme this year is “We All Need Trees.”
Posters may be completed in school or at home, but must be the work of the individual student. Entries will be judged on their conservation message, visual effectiveness, originality and universal appeal.
More information about this year’s theme – including free educational resources for students, teachers and parents – may be found on the National Association of Conservation Districts’ website at www.nacdnet.org/education/we-all-need-trees, or by contacting the Greene County Conservation District at 724-852-5278.
Entries should be submitted to the Greene County Conservation District at 22 W. High St., Suite 204, Waynesburg, PA 15370. Posters must be received by the Conservation District by April 15.
