-
your school office

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

-
The Stewardship theme must be on your poster.
-
Do not write your name on the front of your poster. Posters with student's names on the front cannot be considered for judging.
-
A signed/completed entry form must be firmly attached to the back of the poster to make it eligible for judging. Entry forms can be found at our website at www.uintacountycd.com. You can also visit our office at 204 E Sage St in Lyman WY, or email klott.uccd@gmail.com. By signing the entry form and submitting a poster you agree that your child’s poster and picture can be displayed on our website or other media outlets for UCCD purposes.
-
Original work must be done on a 22” x 28” poster board; copied/printed posters are not allowed.
-
Posters should be handled so they remain flat for judging; do not roll your poster as rolled posters rarely flatten out.
-
Paint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials may be used to create a flat or two-dimensional effect on regular posters. Three-dimensional objects and computer-generated posters are not allowed.
-
All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students. Limit one poster 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 by him/herself. Entries completed by students in their handwriting and coloring will score better than those designed, drawn and colored with adult assistance.
