2024
This year’s theme is
General Information: NACD has added two new sub-contests: the Additional Assist Poster Contest, which is for K-12 students who need extra support due to intellectual or physical limitations, and the Braille Poster Contest, a conservation-based art contest for blind or low vision K-12 students. These contests are separate from the hand-drawn poster contest and will be judged independently. It’s truly inspiring to witness all children in the community participate and to see how creatively they think outside the box. These contests offer a platform for students who might not have had the chance to contribute before, and their participation can bring fresh perspectives and creativity to our conservation efforts.
All three contest have five categories: K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. The Gulf Coast Soil and Water Conservation District will award the following prizes (via Visa Gift Card) in each category of each contest: 1st Place- $50.00, 2nd Place- $25.00, and 3rd Place- $10.00.
Each contest’s categories 1st place local district winner will be entered in the state competition. In the state competition, the general poster contest’s 1st place winners will be awarded with $75.00 and 2nd place winners will receive $50.00, the braille poster contest will have 1 over-all winner that will be awarded $75.00, but unfortunately this year there will be no state award for the additional assist poster contest. However, all contest 1st place winners in the state contest will be sent to the national poster competition, where they will compete in their respective contest at the national level for 1st place and a prize of $200.00, 2nd place and a prize of $150.00, and 3rd place and a prize of $100.00.
