The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) invite Kindergarten – 5th Grade students to participate in the poster contest.
- Poster content must be Michigan-themed. Students will need to include wildlife, plants, land, or freshwater ecosystems native to Michigan in their Earth Day 2020 Poster. They can be hand drawn or created on a computer. If fashioned by hand, the submitter must take a photo of it and save it to a PDF (portable document format) file.
- Each school will hold their own contest and submit only the top three (3) posters per grade (K-5) for each school.
- Posters must be submitted electronically using the Microsoft PowerPoint template provided, by February 28, 2020, to EGLE-EarthDay@Michigan.gov.
- The PowerPoint template contains designated lines for the student’s name, grade, school, city, teacher name, and email address. The template is also available online at Michigan.gov/EarthDay.
- Posters will be judged based on the student’s creative use of native Michigan wildlife, plants, land, or freshwater ecosystems. Winners of the contest will be notified by March 13, 2020, and honored on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at Earth Day 2020 in Constitution Hall, 525 W. Allegan Street, Lansing.
