MONROE — The annual Green County Land and Water Conservation poster contest is underway. There are five categories divided by grades: K to first, second and third; fourth through sixth; seventh through ninth and tenth through twelfth. The contest is open to public, private and home school students. 

The contest rules are as follows:

Any media may be used – paint, crayon, colored pencil charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials on regular posters.

Poster size must be 14” x 22” or 12” x 18”.

Poster should be packaged so they remain flat when sent for judging.

All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students. 

The 2019 title “Life in the Soil: Dig Deeper,” must be on the poster. 

Each entry must have a signed entry form to be eligible for judging. Contact the Green County Land and Water Conservation Department for an entry form. 

Although younger students will most likely receive help in planning from parents or teachers, it is encouraged that each student does as much of the work as possible by him or herself. 

Entries are due to the Green County Land and Water Conservation Department by Friday, Dec. 21, 1627 4th Avenue West, Monroe. There are prizes for the top three entries in each category. For more information call 608-325-4195 Ext. 3.
