Who Can Participate?
The Poster contest is open to all
public, private, and homeschooled

Why Participate?
Designing a poster and researching the theme can
give you a voice in your community on important
conservation issues. Good posters tell important
stories to present and future generations. Posters
capture people’s attention with a powerful graphic
and inspire with a message for your community.
