Conservation Poster Contest

Students can submit a poster in one of two categories:

Hand-drawn posters: K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12

Digital posters: 7-9 and 10-12

​

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.
