Join the Dugdemona Soil and Water Conservation District as we celebrate conservation by participating in the Conservation Poster Contest. Any student in grades K-12 in the schools located in the Dugdemona Soil and Water Conservation District is eligible to enter the poster contest. The District includes Caldwell, Jackson and Winn parishes. There are five categories: K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12.


The Dugdemona Soil and Water Conservation District will award the following prizes in each category: 1st Place- $25.00, 2nd Place - $15.00 and 3rd Place 10.00

The 18th annual Conservation Poster Contest provides kindergarten through twelfth grade students with an opportunity to share their thoughts about soil, water and related natural resource issues. “This year’s theme is “Water is life”.
This year’s theme, “Water is life” focuses on water – a non renewable natural resource and how this precious resource may become increasingly scarce as we place more demands on fresh water supplies.

Any media may be used to create a flat or two-dimensional effect (paint, crayon, colored pencil, charcoal, paper, or other material). All posters must have completed entry forms attached to the back of the poster. The poster must depict the conservation theme, “Water is life”. The poster size must be between 8.5” X 11” and 22” X 28”. All posters should be submitted to the Dugdemona Soil and Water Conservation District by Friday, October 31, 2008. For information about the contest or conservation, contact the Dugdemona Soil and Water Conservation District office by calling (318) 628-4438 or visit the office at 301 West Main Street, Suite 207, Winnfield, Louisiana 71483 (We are located in Room 207 above the Winn Parish Health Unit.) Learn about the many reasons “water is life.” We are looking forward to working with our schools in Caldwell, Jackson and Winn Parish and receiving our student’s entries for this poster contest and other projects we have planned for this school year.
