2012 Conservation District Poster Contest
|
Salcha-Delta Soil & Water Conservation District is excited to announce the 2012 poster contest. Each year, the National Association of Conservation Districts and Auxiliary select a stewardship theme to increase the awareness about the need to take care of our natural resources.
This year’s theme “SOIL TO SPOON” concentrates on the importance of understanding where the food you eat each day comes from. You can see a wide variety of products in your local grocery store. How does the food get from the soil to my spoon, anyway? To learn more about where your food comes from, select one of your favorite foods or products and follow its progress from the soil to your plate.
Good posters tell a story about you and your community conservation practices, by capturing people’s attention with a powerful graphic and inspiring message. Resource information can be found by talking to local farmers, ranchers or gardeners in your community, conservation district office, and the cooperative extension office.
• The Poster Contest provides kindergarten through twelfth grade students an opportunity to convey their thoughts about soil, water and related natural resource issues through art. Posters are due to the conservation district office on February 22, 2012 by 3pm. Contests begin at the local conservation district level and district winners advance to the state level. Finally, state winners advance to the National Contest level. National winners are recognized each year at the NACD Annual Meeting.
• Monetary awards are given to each division:
Division 1 – grades K and 1
Division 2 – grades 2 and 3
Division 3 – grades 4 tthrough 6
Division 4 – grades 7 through 9
Division 5 – grades 10 through 12
