Attention Teachers and Students!
We are hosting a local contest for the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Annual Poster Contest.
Who Can Participate?
All Newberry County public, private, and homeschooled students in grades K-12.
Why Participate?
Designing a poster and researching the theme can give students a voice in the community to inspire, increase awareness, and encourage citizens to work together to protect our natural resources for present and future generations!
Poster Categories: K—1st Grade, 2nd—3rd Grade, 4th— 6th Grade, 7th—9th Grade, 10th—12th Grade
-
Allowable poster/image sizes are between 8.5″x11″ and 14″x22″. Landscape orientation preferred!
-
The contest theme (One Water) must be on the front of the poster/image.
-
Student and school names should not appear on the front of the poster/image.
-
Any media may be used to create a 2D (flat) effect, including photos, paint, marker, ink, crayon, charcoal, colored pencil, stickers, collage, wallpaper, magazines, photos, digitally designed graphics, and flat objects found in nature.
-
Posters must be the work of an individual student (no team entries).
-
Entries should be the contestants’ original creations and may not be traced from photos or other artists’ works.
-
Once posters are complete, make a .pdf, .jpg, or .png of your entry using a scanner or camera (or, in the case of digital illustrations, convert the image to a .pdf, .jpg, or .png file type), then have a parent or guardian submit the entry online.
2023 Theme: " One Water "
-
Photographs and digital pictures are encouraged.
-
Orient poster/photo as Landscape on your computer.
-
Successful posters/images present a simple, concise visual message, similar to a billboard or bumper sticker.
-
As much as possible, limit text to the contest topic (“One Water"). Additional text can be difficult to read and complicates the message.
-
The contest topic should be in bold, clear, unique text. Make sure the words stand out and are easy to read!
-
All text should be large enough to be read easily.
-
Avoid fluorescent-colored posters.
All posters are due to the Newberry SWCD office by 4:30 p.m.
