NDA Sponsors Third Annual Poster Contest

LINCOLN - The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) encourages all first through sixth grade Nebraska youth to participate in the third annual Nebraska Department of Agriculture's Agriculture Week in Nebraska Poster Contest.

"Last year, we received 1,364 posters from Nebraska students," said NDA Director Greg Ibach. "The contest provides teachers with another opportunity to help educate their students on Nebraska's number one industry, agriculture."

The deadline for contest entries is March 1, 2006, with the winners being announced during National Agriculture Week (March 19-25). This year's theme is "The Story of Nebraska Agriculture."

The contest will be broken down into three age groups:

  1. First and second grade students

  2. Third and fourth grade students

  3. Fifth and sixth grade students
The winning entries will be featured on the NDA web site, and possibly on posters, promotional materials and other publications.

"The posters help celebrate National Agriculture Week in Nebraska," said Director Ibach. "We encourage teachers, parents and students to get involved in this years contest." Rules, official entry forms and additional information is available by calling Christin Kamm at (402) 471-6856, by e-mailing ckamm@agr.ne.gov, or by logging onto the Kids Page located on the NDA homepage at www.agr.ne.gov.
