Students K­-12 create and write submissions for our yearly poster and essay contest sponsored by the Alabama Association of Conservation Districts (AACD) and National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD). Participation is recruited within each district. Entries are judged on a regional level, then advance to the state Soil and Water Conservation Committee office, where a panel of judges selects state winners to submit to NACD. Winners are eligible for a cash prize! NACD chooses a different topic each year relating to conservation education. The contest is a great way for students to enjoy healthy competition while learning about conservation. Contact your local conservation district to enter.
