“May The Forest Be With You Always”

VASWCD Poster Contest: https://vaswcd.org/poster-contest/
  • The annual Conservation Poster Contest provides K-12th grade students an opportunity to convey their thoughts about soil, water and related natural resource issues through art. It also highlights the educational outreach efforts of conservation districts and their state conservation associations, auxiliaries and agencies. The poster contest theme follows the annual NACD Stewardship theme. This year’s theme is “May The Forest Be With You Always”
  • Each year, the poster contest starts at the district level. Individuals and teachers with questions regarding district contests should contact their local district. District winners advance to the state level. Virginia state winners from each category listed below will advance to the National Contest and receive a prize. National winners are recognized each year at the NACD Annual Meeting.
  • Any Girl Scout or Boy Scout who creates a poster and submits it to their local SWCD for judging can earn the VASWCD Poster Contest Patch. When submitting a poster to earn the Poster Contest Patch, be sure to check the box on the entry form. Please note that poster patches are distributed in December each year.
