Poster and Speaking Contest
2023 Theme: One Water
If you intend to participate, please notify Ashley Vande Voort at 715-395-1266 or ashley.vandevoort@douglascountywi.org.
Poster Contest - Grades K-12
Posters are due to County Conservation Department January 13, 2023.
Top posters will move on to the regional, state and national contests.
*Students will not be in attendance for judging dates
Tips:
Teachers can choose how involved they want to be in the contest. Three potential options are:
1. Just hand out the form to students and let them choose if they want to make a poster. If you’re feeling generous, maybe you could offer extra credit to students who participate.
2. Incorporate the poster into one of your lessons. This can match well with science and art lessons.
3. Invite me to come speak in your classroom. I am a verified secure volunteer by School District of Superior.
Posters can be mailed or brought to my office in the courthouse, 1313 Belknap St, Rm 206, Superior, WI 54880. If needed, I can also pick up posters from your school.
