Conservation Poster Contest

Each spring, Cuyahoga SWCD, in association with the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD), sponsors a county-wide Conservation Poster Contest for students in grades K-12. Each year the National Association selects a new stewardship week theme and students can participate by creating an original poster.

Winners at the county-level will be selected from the following grade bands: K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12.

 

2025 NACD Poster Contest Theme

For 2025 the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) Stewardship Week and Poster Contest theme is, “Home is Where the Habitat Is”.

Free education materials are available from NACD here and Cuyahoga SWCD educators also facilitate a classroom program for students in grades K-5 to get them started with designing their posters.
