The Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District is announcing that it is time for the annual conservation poster contest. The theme for the 2025 contest is “Home is Where the Habitat Is.” Students are encouraged to create a poster showcasing the importance of habitats and homes. The local contest is open to any public, private or homeschooled student in Accomack and Northampton in grades K-12.
Students may also enter through other groups such as Scouts, 4-H, or church youth groups, or may enter individually. Any Girl or Boy Scout who creates a poster and submits it to Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District for judging can earn the VASWCD Poster Contest Patch.
This contest is held every year and has 6 categories: K-1, 2-3, 3-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 7-12 digitally created.
Posters that win first place in each of these categories are awarded a cash prize and sent to the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts for the State Competition. The deadline for entries is 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 26, 2025.
