The Dane County Land & Water Resources Department invites all kindergarten through 12th grade students in Dane County to participate in the 2022 Conservation Awareness Poster Contest. The annual competition encourages students to showcase their creativity and express their thoughts on conservation practices.
The theme for the 2021-2022 school year is “Healthy Soil: Healthy Life”.
The contest is open to all Dane County public, private and home-schooled students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

First place winners: $20; Second place winners: $15; and third place winners: $10. Each of the 1st place division winners will advance to the area competition, with a chance for their poster to win further prizes at the state and national level.
