Conservation Poster Contest

NCCD serves as the local, county sponsor for the annual National Conservation Poster Contest. Students in grades K-12, from public, private, and home schools, create posters centered around a different conservation theme each year. The posters are judged at the county and state levels, and cash prizes are awarded to winners in each category.

2025's theme is: Home is Where the Habitat is

2025 Delaware Contest Rules and Deadlines Coming Soon.

All county-level winners receive a certificate and a gift card:

First Place - $50

Second Place - $25

Third Place - $15

Each first place winner from each category from the three county Conservation Districts are then reviewed by a panel of judges from Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to select state winners.

The state winners each receive a $50 cash award from the Delaware Association of Conservation Districts. They are then submitted to the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) for national-level judging. The national winners are then announced in February as part of the NACD National Meeting.
