The National Conservation Poster Contest is open to kindergarten through twelfth grade students. The state does not have to enter a poster for every grade level. The National Poster Contest takes its theme from NACD's annual Soil and Water Stewardship Week theme. Each of us has a responsibility to care for trees and forests from the nearest city street to the most remote mountaintop.
Trees provide many gifts to all living things on earth.
Posters should be packaged so they remain flat when sent to the NACD Service Center for judging. They will be returned to the state contact in the same or similar packaging after the contest. Each entry must have been evaluated at each conservation district's most recent competition prior to the state evaluation. All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students. The winning posters will be featured at the 2003 NACD Annual Meeting and will then be returned to the state contacts.
