Poster Contest ENTRY RULES

 

This poster Contest is open to all K-12 public, private and home school students in Uinta County WY.

​

To be eligible for judging, your poster must adhere to the following rules:

• Posters must be submitted by 4:00 pm on the deadline date. Please drop you poster off at one of the following locations: 

  • ​your school office

  • the Conservation District office (204 E Sage, Lyman) Mon.-Thur. 8-4

  • the UWYO Extension office (228 9th St, Evanston) Mon.-Fri. 9-5

• The Stewardship theme must be included on the front of your poster and spelled correctly.

• Posters with student names on the front will not be considered for judging. Do not write your name on the front of your poster.

• A signed/completed entry form must be firmly attached to the back of the poster. Entry forms can be found at our website at www.uintacountycd.com/poster-contest. By signing the entry form and submitting a poster, students and parents agree to the terms written on the entry form.

• Clipart and AI-generated content are strictly prohibited. Submissions must be original human creations with designs originating from the entrant’s own artistic skill and vision. Any use of AI image generators will result in disqualification.

• Original work must be done on a 22” x 28” poster board and copied/printed posters are not allowed. Posters should be handled so they remain flat for judging; do not roll your poster.

• Paint, crayon, marker, colored pencil, charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials may be used to create a flat (two-dimensional) effect on regular posters. Three-dimensional decorations are not allowed.

• All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students. Limit one entry per student.

• Although younger students will most likely receive help in planning from parents or teachers, UCCD encourages each student to do as much of the work as possible. Entries completed by students in their handwriting and coloring will score better than those designed, drawn and colored with adult assistance.

• Parents and students must understand that by submitting your poster, you grant ownership to UCCD. Please note that only winning posters will be returned.

• Entries are void if they fail to meet any of these requirements. We truly value and appreciate every poster entered into the contest. Please know that if an entry does not meet specific judging requirements, it is simply an administrative outcome and does not reflect on the talent of the student or the artistic quality of their work.
