| Students in grades 4-12 are eligible to compete in this year’s Junior Conservation Contests, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and the Pennsylvania Wildlife Federation.
This year’s theme is “Hidden Pennsylvania Wildlife,” and there are separate contests for photographs and artwork. Contestants in the two categories will compete against those in their age group, and the contests are open to all Pennsylvania residents attending public or private schools or those who are home schooled.
In addition to submitting a photo and/or artwork, contestants must include a one-paragraph explanation of their outdoors experience to accompany each entry. Poster entries must be on 11x17-inch poster board, and the exact words of the theme must appear on the poster as part of the artwork, which can be done in any art material, such as watercolor, oil or acrylic paints, crayons or chalk....
