Poster Contest ENTRY RULES
-
Poster Contest is open to all K-12 public, private and home school students in Uinta County WY
-
The Stewardship theme must be on your poster.
-
Paint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, stickers, paper or other materials may be used to create a flat or two-dimensional effect on regular posters. Computer generated posters are not allowed.
-
Poster size must be 22” x 28”.
-
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.
-
Posters should be packaged so they remain flat when sent for judging.
-
All posters must be created by an individual student rather than a team of students.
-
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.

WHY PARTICIPATE?
Personal stewardship can be gained through the investment of your time to research to design a poster on an important conservation issue. Good posters show passion and tell important stories to present and future generations by capturing viewer’s attention with powerful graphics and an inspiring message. The internet or library are great places to visit to come up with an idea for your poster. You can visit to view posters that have previously won at the national level.
