North Dakota Earth Day Patch Contest
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is sponsoring a contest for design of a North Dakota Earth Day patch. The patch should incorporate some aspect of Earth Day - celebrated April 22 - or keeping North Dakota clean. The winner of the contest will receive a $200 savings bond, according to Jeb Williams, outreach biologist.
The contest is another avenue of raising awareness for our natural resources and their intended purpose, Williams said. "By bringing attention to the issue, it not only plants a seed with today's youth that the prairie is something to cherish, but it serves as a reminder to all that we need to protect our natural resources."
Contestants must be North Dakota residents between ages 6-18. The entry deadline is Jan. 31. Only one entry per person is allowed.
The patch must be round and three inches in diameter. There is a limit of five colors on the patch, and lettering must be printed. Name, address and phone number of the contestant must be clearly printed on the back of the entry design.
The winning design will be used on a patch given to members of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 4-H clubs that participate in Earth Day cleanup projects on state-owned or managed lands in North Dakota in April.
Entries should be mailed to Jeb Williams, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501. For information, contact Williams at 328-6332; or email jwilliam@state.nd.us
