First place in the Fish, Wildlife & Parks Montana State Parks Poster Contest went to Paul Capp, Lewis & Clark School in Great Falls. Capp’s creative, clever design answered the question "What will Montana State Parks be like 100 years from now?" Capp’s answer is that Giant Springs State Park, and at parks all over Montana, the fishing is going to get better and better. His design shows 50- year increments of improved fish quantity and size. Capp will receive a $150 savings bond and a T-shirt with his original artwork screened on the front. Lewis & Clark School will receive a video and books for the school library. Second place went to Kyle Kleschen of Lewis & Clark Elementary School in Missoula. Kleschen’s creative use of medium and design captured the playful Prairie Dogs at Greycliff Prairie Dog Town State Park, assuring us that these adaptable creatures will still be around in the next century to entertain and amuse. Kleschen will receive a $100 saving bond and T-shirt. In a tie for second place, Karin Lanz of Lewis & Clark School in Great Falls was recognized for her design strength. Clean air, clean water, and an abundance of different types of wildlife, waterfowl and fish species among lush grass and green trees gave this poster special appeal and affirming that Sluice Boxes State Park will still be a very special place to visit 100 years from now. Two winners were also selected for third place as a result of the high quality of work submitted. Both Anne Flowers of Choteau Elementary School and Kayla Roth also of Choteau Elementary School in Choteau were recognized for their imagination and creative vision. Third Place winners each will receive a $50 savings bond and T-shirt. All finalists will receive a T-shirt as well. All winners are fifth graders.
