Speech and Poster Contests are sponsored by the Homer Soil & Water Conservation District and the Alaska Association of Conservation Districts. The contests provide an opportunity for our youth to get acquainted with local soil and water districts and develop an understanding and responsibility for land stewardship. Students within the Homer Soil & Water Conservation District boundaries are invited and encouraged to participate. The stewardship themes are announced in late Fall.
- The poster contest provides students in grades K – 6, with an opportunity to share their thoughts about soil, water and related natural resource issues in art form.
- The speech contest encourages students in grades 7 – 12, to write an informative, well thought out, essay and speech that allows the development of good speaking skills and awareness for the environment.
Local Speech Prizes: $100.00 for 1st place, $75.00 for 2nd place, and $50.00 for 3rd place.
Poster Categories: K-1, 2-3, and 4-6.
Prizes for each category: $25.00 for 1st place, $15.00 for 2nd place, and $10.00 for 3rd place.
Winners of the Homer District contests will be eligible to compete at the statewide competition during the Alaska Association of Conservation Districts Spring meeting.
