Many round out the classroom program by creating posters, poems or prose works to illustrate what they have learned. The theme for the poster, poetry and prose exhibit changes each year. Each participating school is eligible to select two works in each of these categories to send to Springfield for competitive judging. In the spring a recognition ceremony for the top 50 finalists, their families and teachers is held in Springfield. Six entries are chosen by a panel of judges to receive U.S. Savings Bonds and inscribed environmental books for their schools' libraries.
All finalists receive certificates of recognition and ribbons.
