FROM THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
MADISON, Wis. – Calling all Wisconsin fourth, fifth and six graders: It’s time to get out your paint and colored pencils for the third annual poster contest to help the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spread the word to Keep Wildlife Wild.
The goal of the contest is to create a poster that teaches the importance of enjoying and observing wildlife in the wild and not keeping wildlife in homes or as pets.
“The young artists never disappoint,” said Amanda Kamps, DNR wildlife health conservation specialist and head of the Keep Wildlife Wild initiative. “The artwork and creativity we saw in the first two years of the poster contest impressed all the judges. It’s inspiring to know these future leaders understand the importance of keeping our wildlife wild.”
Each entry must be prepared according to the poster contest’s rules. Please read the requirements carefully as excellent submissions have been disqualified in the past because of missed requirements.
