2023 Stewardship Week Poster Contest

The Flint River Soil & Water Conservation District is pleased to announce the 2023 Stewardship Week theme: “One Water”. Stewardship Week, which will be celebrated April 30 – May 7, 2023, is celebrated each year to promote natural resource conservation across various topics, including soil, water, and habitat.

The Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District is offering its annual poster contest for kindergarten through fifth-grade students from counties located in the Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District. These counties include Baker, Calhoun, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Miller, Mitchell, and Seminole counties. Posters must incorporate the “One Water” theme. A digital photograph of the front of the poster and entry form will be accepted by emailing to abby@flintriverswcd.org by Friday, May 5, 2023.

Monetary prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third-place winners. The District winner will also advance to the state competition where the poster entry will be judged against other entries from across Georgia.

“Incorporating the Poster Contest is a fun and educational learning experience for students of all ages to celebrate Stewardship Week,” says Education Coordinator Abby Davis.

This year marks the 68th anniversary of the National Association of Conservation District’s Stewardship Week. During Stewardship Week, local conservation districts and state associations provide educational resources on the importance of soil health, water quality, pollinator habitats, and other conservation topics.
