See below (“Judging Criteria/Prizes”) for information about how winning posters will be selected, and what winners will receive.
Submission Guidelines:
*Entry Info: Please make sure your first name, last name, grade, and teacher are written clearly on the back of your poster.

*Inappropriate Materials: Most poster-making materials will be accepted, but please keep in mind that anything that could potentially be harmful, or that will decay, stink, or attract bugs will not be allowed.
