All K-12 students in Kane and DuPage counties are invited to participate in this year’s Soil & Water Stewardship Poster Contest. This year’s theme is We All Need Trees. The theme gives students the opportunity to share their thoughts about the important role trees play in our lives.

The contest has five grade divisions, K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 11-12 grade. The grand-prize winner in the K-1, 2-3, and 4-6 grade divisions will be awarded a $25 gift card. A $15 gift card will be awarded to the first runner-up in those divisions. For the 7-9 and 10-12 grade divisions, a $50 gift card will be awarded to the grand-prize winner and a $25 gift card will be awarded to the first runner-up.
