Montana State Parks Poster Contest Underway

Print

Many Montana fifth grade students are testing their artistic skills this spring   by participating in the 2007 Montana State Parks poster contest. The contest’s theme is "Kids In The Great Outdoors" and the deadline to enter is April 6.

Prizes include lodging in a Montana State Park, backpacks, equipment and field guides.

The contest organizers at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks hope to stimulate fifth grade students, including those home schooled, to spend more time in the outdoors.

Contest materials are available on the FWP web page at fwp.mt.gov   by using the search words "Parks Education." The State Parks Poster Contest page includes the 2007 contest rules and entry form, a virtual tour of Montana’s State Parks, and a gallery of winning posters from past years.
