Poster Contest

Conservation Awareness Poster Contest

Each year, Winnebago County participates in the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Poster Contest. The Conservation Poster Contest is open to kindergarten through 12th-grade students. Students compete at county and area competitions with the winning posters moving on to compete at the State Competition in March at the WI Land+Water’s Annual Conference. The first-place posters from the state competition will represent Wisconsin at the National Association of Conservation Districts' annual meeting.
